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:

You should receive an email from TurboTax that your refund is on its way. If you don't receive your refund by today, you will also receive a follow up email as to why TurboTax was unable to deposit your funds on time, and you will be entitled to receive a refund of the $25 fee charged if applicable.

What if I also elected for 5 days early, have a code 846 showing 2/24 DDD, but selected to have TT fees taken from refund (has to go through SBTG first)? Will I not be charged the $25 because technically I did not receive the funds 5 days early (since has to to SBTG first)? Or does TT go by 5 days early they release the funds and where it goes from there is not their concern?

Just received refund via BoA DD so the 5 day early actually works! See everyone next year!  Time to go buy my new Canyon road bike!

Does anyone know if Bank of America excepts the 5 days early through TT because I did the 5 days early and my transcripts updated just wondering if I’ll have to wait till the deposit date on the transcripts because of bank of America or if they will release it early

I just seen someone with Bank of America get their refund using the 5 day early and the paid fees using their refund . IRS DDD was 2/24 and the person got their money on 2/19. Hope that helps .i have BOA as well so my fingers are crossed

If you do not get your federal refund from TT in 5 days of your IRS deposit date, then you will not be charged the $25 fee thru TT. TT only takes the $25 fee if you are getting your refund 5 days early, so they do not charge the fee, unless it is 5 days early. I hope this helps!

They told me it canceled my 5days early and that my payment is pending deposit but it’s going to wait until the 24th. And I have a 2day early pay card

That’s crazy because I feel like they’re doing the same to me even though they didn’t cancel my 5 day early still haven’t gotten my money and my date is Tuesday

They canceled mine on the 19th and said they issued a refund and that now I have to wait until the actual 24th. I just spoke to someone from sbtpg and they said they do not have my refund

My IRS transcript has a ddd of 02/26/25 TT has a refund delivery est date of 02/21, I signed up for the 5 days early, and they didn’t charge me being that I didn’t get it 5 days early, but I would like to know when am I going to get my refund, I had owed some back taxes but my IRS account already shows it as paid so I know they released the money, I guess it’s just a waiting game now.
