My estimated refund date for my federal taxes was originally the 21st, today it changed to the 23rd, now it reads the 21st again. Is there a reason for these changes?

TurboTax gives you an estimate direct deposit date only. TurboTax does not take into account the possible delays of the IRS and calculates the 21 days from acceptance as the direct deposit date. For most taxpayers, this estimated date will not be correct as there are multiple issues that can cause a delay while your return is being processed by the IRS. The best way to get an accurate direct deposit date is to use the Where's My Refund tool on the IRS website. 

To track your Federal refund, visit the Where’s My Federal Refund? site here: https://www.irs.gov/refunds

Updates are made daily, usually overnight. You may also download the IRS2Go app to check your Federal refund status.

 You can track the status of your state return by following the directions in the following TurboTax FAQ.

 Note: You will need your social security number, filing status, and refund amount in order to track your refund.
