The date you see on TurboTax Refund Tracker is just an estimated date based on data from when other customers have filed. Only your state will be able to provide you the exact deposit date. Why can't TurboTax give me an exact refund date?

You can use your State Department of Revenue's website to check status of state tax refund. Processing times vary from state to state and it's not uncommon to receive your federal refund before state; or vice versa. 

Accepted  in TurboTax just means the government has received your return. This is the status of your return; not your refund. The next step would be for them to process the return and approve your refund. Once they complete that, they update their website with a deposit (or check mailed) date for you. 

Please see below for tracking your state refund:
