What made you think that Credit Karma would have your refund five days before the IRS issued it?   What did you see that said that?

 

 

 

Track your refund on Credit Karma after filing with TurboTax
 

 

Original Publication: Jan 27 2021 | Last Updated: Jan 27 2021

If you opened a new Credit Karma account or linked an existing one when filing your taxes with TurboTax, you can track your federal refund using your Credit Karma account. Your refund tracker should appear shortly after you file your federal tax return, log into your Credit Karma account to check it out!

The IRS issues most refunds in less than 21 days though some returns may take longer to process than others. Keep an eye on your refund tracker to see the status of your federal tax return.

When will I receive my federal tax refund?

The IRS issues most refunds in less than 21 days of accepting your return. It’s possible your refund may take longer. Once the IRS indicates they have issued your refund it may take a few days for the direct deposit to appear in your account.

If you are receiving your federal refund in your Credit Karma Money Spend account, funds are generally available on the day they are received. 

Learn more about when to expect your refund from the IRS Tax Season Refund Frequently Asked Questions.

Why did I receive part of my refund in one of my accounts already, but not the other?

Different financial institutions may have different practices on the availability of directly deposited funds. If you are seeing a portion of your tax refund in one of your accounts already then this is a good sign that the rest of your refund should arrive soon. 

My refund is a different amount than I expected

If the IRS has adjusted your refund amount, you will receive a notice at the mailing address you provided on your tax return.

I got fooled into this too.

They said Credit Karma would be fastest way to get your return... it's been well over 21 Days and NOTHING!

21 days is not a promise from TurboTax or from the IRS. It is only an estimate.    Neither TurboTax nor credit karma controls when the IRS will issue your refund.  The IRS controls it.

 

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted: 

https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/

 

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

 

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2021 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.

Credit karma has poor customer service, someone took my refund out of my account, I reported tried to dispute it and theyre not trying to give me my money back.  Not only arent they giving my money back I can't log into my own account. All they say is that they're going to escalate this to a higher manager. "(A manager or representative that can't speak on a phone? Only through email?)"  And is credit karma owned by [removed]? I feel like every trime I call it's the same guy. What can I do 

Credit karma is lyiers

They told I would receive my money 24 hours to 15 minutes… nothing show up .. they said I get paid 5 days early … nothing nothing.. got me thinking something wrong 😑

I got tricked into filing early with them too. I 100% understand that the irs has to process funds before distributing them but credit karma’s advertisement states that once the funds are accepted users whole file through them are eligible within 15 minutes. Very far from the truth and false advertisement, hopefully TurboTax will get enough complaints to discontinue whatever contract that they have with them. I’ll also be reporting them to BBB as I could have had the funds deposited within my checking account if I knew it was just a scheme of opening a card through them.

First thing you can do is stop with the negative racist energy. That's just bad karma! 2nd thing is Actually read the fine print before you make assumptions.

The website says (if you read it) that "5 days earlier" is not an option if either of the following apply: 

 

1. IRS didn't send your refund prior to the deposit date; 2. You elected to have TurboTax  fees taken from your return

"No interest!"...and then a charge for the interest. Unbelievable. I think I may need to contact my Attorney General's office.
