I am getting my federal return direct deposited from TurboTax 5 days earlier with the $25 payment. What day will it be deposited into my account?

Claimed eitc and paid $25 for early direct deposit from TurboTax. When will I be getting my direct deposit?

Remember that the “”5 day early” date is based on the date given to you on the IRS refund site—-not the date the TT site shows in your account.   If your refund does not come in five days ahead of the IRS date, they are supposed to cancel the $25 fee.

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2024 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

I paid the extra $25, and my return still has not been direct deposited. The IRS site says my return was sent on February 26. I am really annoyed by the delay, & don’t know why I paid TurboTax.

The Up to 5 days early goes by the date on Where's My Refund.

Once your return is filed, TurboTax has no control over the processing of your return or the release of your refund.

Here are a couple FAQs to track your refund:
When will I get my federal tax refund?
How do I track my state refund?
Why does Where's My Refund say "approved" but TurboTax still says "accepted"?

Why do some refunds take longer than others?

What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days?
