Does the IRS site say your refund will be issued on July 13? Only the IRS controls your refund issue date. If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund allow several extra days for the third party bank to process the refund and deposit it to your account. And.....the IRS always tells you to allow one to five days after the refund issue date for the refund to post to your account.
