I paid $25 for early deposit and I have not received any

[sherriberri]

I received my deposit on my deposit date and they did not charge me the $25 for 5 days earlier 

[sherriberri]

I was not charged the $25 for the earlier part. My deposit was received on the date of WMR

[Sf123]

Mine says $25 plus tax came to $27 and change that they will deduct from my refund for 5 days earlier. Was yours never deducted?

[sherriberri]

They did not charge me anything because it did not get deposited early. It was deposited on the date WMR gave me

[Suzannecis114]

Yeah they still charged me the fees for the early deposit but then (after I already paid with my card) it said ooops your not eligible for early deposit

[CatinaT1]

Is the charge processed or pending on your card?

DO NOT DO THIS! Biggest scam ever! Turbo Tax can NOT get you money 5 days sooner! They are NOT above the IRS! Typically after the IRS sends the money to TurboTax they send it to you within a few days anyway! So you’re basically paying Turbo Tax to do what they already do. It never takes over 5 days. So they literally did a bait and switch with TONS OF PEOPLE and so many fell for this lie! Many people won’t even start getting approvals from the IRS until Feb 15 if you have certain credits! Which wasn’t mentioned. Probably somewhere in super tiny print somewhere. But. It wasn’t on the page where you select the option to get the refund early. We filed on Jan 8, and signed up for the 5 days early. We have yet to even get a date from the IRS of when we will get ours. Today marks 21 business days (29 actual days) since we filed! I thought it was 21 days from when you FILED! Because that would make sense. But no. It’s 21 days from the date the IRS gives you. Which nobody with those credits will even get a date until their taxes start getting approved on the 15th of Feb. Just save your $25 and wait the 5 days. This is the last year that we will ever use Turbo Tax though. Big scam. Not real.

I filed my taxes the 3rd of this month I also paid the 25.00 and IRS said I should get my return the 14th of this month . umm today is the 11th.of Feb.

Due to PATH Act, the IRS holds refunds for EITC/ACTC customers until March 3.  You should still receive your refund up to 5 days early. This date is calculated based on being up to 5 days prior to when the IRS releases your refund.

Here is more information on the up to 5 Day Early option: 5 Days Early

Please note: If your federal refund is deposited into your selected bank account up to 1 day before the IRS refund settlement date (the date it would have arrived if sent from the IRS directly), then you will pay the up to 5 Days Early

So I did the 5 day early advance too but I think what happened is either yesterday or today (they11th or 12th) the IRS updated my refund to be sent on 2/14. I don’t think TT had time to send it early because by the time the IRS updated it’ll be posted to my account 2-3 day’s later anyways. I didn’t get charged either.

21 days has passed from the date returns were accepted from irs.gov.

@slpeople

 21 days was not a promise from TurboTax nor from the IRS.  21 days is only an estimated average time.

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

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:

To track your state refund:

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing

If you are getting earned income credit on line 27 or additional child tax credit on line 28 You are subject to the delay required by the PATH act.  Do not expect your refund before early March

Note:  “Accepted” is not the same as “approved”.  TurboTax tells you the e-file was accepted if the IRS deems that there is enough information on the return for them to take it in for processing.   Only the IRS can approve of the refund, which is a later stage of processing.  If the IRS approves your refund they will provide a date for the refund to be issued.

Appreciate the info.

So what is the best guess, +/-  time?

2 -3 months?

[xmasbaby0]

We are not going to guess.   Use the IRS refund site for reliable information.

What happens if I paid for the five days early. But the account that my refund was going to is closed? Will you issue a check?
