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.

TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.  “21 days”  is not a promise from TurboTax or the IRS. 

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

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.

I'll be happy to clarify how the Up to 5 Days Early refund works.

With TurboTax’s Up to 5 Days Early, customers have the flexibility to have their federal refund deposited into their preferred bank account up to 5 days earlier than the date their refund would have arrived if sent from the IRS directly. The fee is taken out of customers’ refund amount only if their refund is delivered at least one day early.

Once the IRS approves a customer’s refund, TurboTax is notified and we’ll attempt to transfer their refund to their bank account. TurboTax sends customers  an email letting them know if we were able to successfully deliver their refund early, or if we were unable to expedite their refund. If we were successfully able to deliver their refund early, customers can expect to see their refund in their bank account the same day they received an email from us.

If we are unable to expedite their refund, their refund will be delivered by the date provided in the IRS Where’s My Refund site and customers won’t be charged for the Up to 5 Days Early service. They’ll also see a notice that “We could not expedite your refund. No 5 day early fee was charged” as part of your TurboTax refund tracker.
