Check Where's My Refund to see when it is supposed to be released.

 

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?

Yes, it’s been 28 days today still waiting for Federal refund !!!!  Paid $35 extra to have my federal five days in advance. Need Reimbursement!  Received CA state immediately!

Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities.  There is no rule as to which one will come in first or how long it will be between their arrival in your account.

 

"5 days early" means you are supposed to receive your federal refund from one to five days sooner than the refund date shown on the IRS refund site.   If it does not meet that "at least one day sooner" date, they are supposed to refund the $35 fee.

 

You have to pay attention to the date on the IRS refund site.

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2025 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:
