My 21 days is technically today. I know it's before the 22nd. But I paid for the 5 days early. When should I get it?

The irs says they will update by the 22nd. But why did I pay for 5 days early... if I won't be getting it 5 days early??

Remember that the “”5 day early” date is based on the date given to you on the IRS refund site—-not the date the TT site shows in your account.   If your refund does not come in five days ahead of the IRS date, they are supposed to cancel the $25 fee.

 

 

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:

I did get that email. but my WMR and transcript both say 2-24 as my ddd... so when should I expect them? Cause my bank says there are no pending deposits.

In the community we do not have access to information about your refund. 

 

If you want specific information you will have to call TurboTax Customer service.  Here is a link:  Turbo Tax Customer Service 

 

Where's my Refund is the most accurate information as it is directly from the IRS. Once your return is filed, TurboTax has no control over the processing of your return or the release of your refund. The TurboTax site can only update if the information is provided for the software to update. This doesn't always happen so the information shown on TurboTax could be behind.

 

The IRS is who is issuing your refund, not TurboTax, so the IRS has the most up to date information. 

 

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?
