My refund appears to have been deposited even though my status still says "accepted" and to expect my refund on 2/26? No email from turbo tax saying it's there?

I'm kind of scared to spend the $$ lol. Never had this happen before. Always got several emails.

Once Turbo Tax sends your returns, they do not receive any updates on the status. 

You can check the status of your federal return by visiting the Where's my Refund website, https://www.irs.gov/refunds

This will let you know if the IRS has indeed finished processing your return.
