Does the refund date mean I'm getting it

[Lillith]

My return was accepted on Jan. 27th which the day I filed. And yet several people I know who filed after I did have already received their refund.

It's not a check it's direct deposit and I called the IRS and there was no problems with my tax return.

Even though the IRS issues 9 out of 10 tax refunds within 21 days, it's possible your return may require additional review and take longer to process. For some taxpayers, PATH Act requirements and other identity-protection safeguards implemented by the IRS may account for longer wait times.

Other things that can delay your refund include, but are not limited to:

• Liens, back taxes, or refund offsets
• Errors, inconsistencies, or missing information
• Identity fraud
• Form 8379, Injured Spouse Allocation, which can take 11-14 weeks to process
• Also, if you chose direct deposit, your financial institution may need another day or two to post the refund to your account, so keep that in mind.

I fully agree with you. I used turbo tax this year as well, i filed them the 13th. Turbo tax says they were received the 14th. Today is march 7th, and the just said this morning they were accepted. I filed mine a week before my husband brother who also claimed ctc and he got his in a week and a half. It has been 3 weeks and mine just got approved. My refund date is next week. So basically i get our taxes in 4 weeks with turbo tax. I have always got mine in no longer then 2 weeks.

It's common for a return to be pending for up to 3 weeks. Most tax returns fall into this timeframe. This timeframe is unrelated to how, where, or when you filed and isn't connected to how quickly you got your refund last year.

When will I receive my refund?

• So if I'm expecting a paper check , and on the "get my refund tool" way ever thing , it tells me "Your tax refund is scheduled to be mailed by April 16" does that mean they'll mail the paper check out that day ? Or that I should recieve that paper check roughly.around that date ? ...lmk plz

That is the date the IRS intends to mail the check to you. You can expect to receive it within 5-10 business days after that date.

Today is the date that it says I’m soppse get my renturn. Does that mean it will send today

@Lcunningham18  If you are referring to the date that TurboTax gave you---no.   That was only an estimate--not a promise or guarantee.   Only the IRS knows when you will get your refund.  You need to track it on the IRS site.

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

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.

Ok the IRS says my refund will be in my bank by let’s say March 2, 2022. 
Does this mean my money (refund) will be in my bank account on March 2 2022?

@Gmatracy04

 The IRS tells you to allow 1-5 days for the refund to post to your account after they issue the refund.

On the irs where's my refund app it says the money was deposited on the 24th and no later than the 1st... What do I do

[Hfayden]

According to irs website my deposit date was Feb24 and should  have it by March 1st. Bank says they have received nothing. Confirmed correct bank And routing number. I didn’t have to pay turbo tax anything for filing my return. What could be the hold up?

[Shakiya2227]

Hey did you receive yours yet? 

[Paul E]

if the irs say i will get my refund on April 25 will it come before or after this date
