Did you have any TurboTax fees that you paid out of your Federal refund? If so, then the funds go first from the IRS to an intermediary bank where the fees are subtracted. If you DID use that service, we can tell you how to log-in to your temporary account at the intermediary company to check on the funds.
Yes I did have fee taken directly from my federal refund. Can you please tell me how to log-in to my temporary account at the intermediary company to check on my funds
I left you the info below. If you need to phone SBTPG's live support, they are open today until 12 Noon Pacific time. Weekdays they are open 6AM-6PM Pacific.
Your direct deposit information will be at the bottom of your Form 1040.
To view your 1040 after filing, Sign into TurboTax > Taxes > Tax Timeline > Some other things you can do > Download/print (.pdf).
Once your return has been accepted (or mailed), it's too late to change your bank account for direct deposit.
If you haven't filed yet, you can still change your bank account info for direct deposit.
If the info you provided is for a closed or invalid account, the government will mail you a refund check.
If the info you entered is someone else's account, don't worry – some banks won't deposit tax refunds into accounts where names don't match up. The best way for you to track your federal refund is to call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040.
If your recently-filed return is in pending status, wait until it's either accepted or rejected.
If you chose to pay your TurboTax fees out of your Federal refund, your funds will first go to a temporary account at an intermediary bank--either Civista Bank of Sandusky, Ohio, or Green Dot Bank. At the intermediary bank the fees are subtracted, then the rest of your funds are sent on to your bank in a second deposit. The company that handles that is SBTPG (Santa Barbara Tax Products Group.)
Less commonly there can be delays at the intermediary bank, and additional ID info, etc. might be required.
If for any reason the second deposit fails (the one that is actually to your bank), it will bounce back to SBTPG's bank who will issue you a paper check in the mail.
Once the IRS has released your funds, you can log into your temporary account at SBTPG to see the status of your funds.

Why it not pending does turbo tax have my refund for their fees
@01 14 1960 This was answered in another thread you posted to. But again...
Your tax refund was not sent to TurboTax. TurboTax does not handle your refund at all.
Santa Barbara Tax Products Group, LLC (SBTPG) is the bank that handles the Refund Processing Service when you choose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your refund. This option also has an additional charge from the bank that processes the transaction.
You can contact them SBTPG, toll-free, at 1-877-908-7228 or go to their secure website www.sbtpg.com

Thanks I just checked it's at a bank for processing turbo tax fees deductions taken out
Good ... that process can take up to 3 business days and then your bank acknowledging the deposit may also take 3 business days.
Yes. Says the refund was sent to the bank on February 22. My bank still has not received the deposit. When I go on TurboTax, it says my fees have been paid. Where is the remainder of my return?
@keenkd Did you choose to pay for using TurboTax by having the fees deducted from your federal refund by the third party bank?
How can I see my TurboTax fees?
