I received an email stating that my refund is on the way and to check my account in 1-2 days. Has anyone else receive this message and their refund in that timeframe?

Thousands of people received that email, and none of them received their refund in 1 to 2 days. The email was sent by the TurboTax marketing department. They have no knowledge of when your refund will actually be issued. They sent the email when your tax return was accepted for processing, but it normally takes at least 3 weeks after that to get your refund. Use use Where's My Refund? on the IRS web site to check the status of your refund.
