Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

If it says my refund was sent to my bank but nothing is there and says payment pending why does it say that?

That’s not good smh. With all the problems credit karma and turbo tax are having with our refund advances I was worried our actual refunds wouldn’t get to the cards either smh

If the status in Where’s My Refund? shows “Refund Sent”, the IRS has sent your tax refund to your financial institution for direct deposit. It can take 1 to 5 days for your financial institution to deposit funds into your account. If you don't receive it in 1 to 5 days then you should contact your financial institution.

 

If you have been approved for the Refund Advance, funds are typically available to spend within 48-72 hours.

Some banks do not credit deposits on weekends, so check with your bank.
