When the status of your refund is Refund Sent, it means the IRS has sent your refund to your financial institution for direct deposit. This status will tell you when your refund was sent to your bank. 

It may take your financial institution 1 – 5 days to deposit the funds into your account. Please wait until it’s been five days from the date we sent the refund to your bank to check with your bank about the status of your refund. This time frame is provided to allow for the variations in how and when banks deposit funds.  

If you haven't received your refund in your account after the 5 day waiting period, you can call the IRS. IRS representatives will be able to research the status of your refund if your return was accepted (received) more than 21 calendar days ago. The number to call them at is 1-800-829-1040, but prepare yourself for a potentially long wait times.

Thanks but, My refund was scheduled to be sent to my bank today. What’s the issue

[Heather14]

The IRS issues your refund, so they would be who you would need to contact regarding that issue.

If you don't pay The Fees Up Front and choose to have them taken from your Refund, TURBO TAX will HOLD YOUR REFUND an additional 3 DAYS to take their fees before sending your Funds to your bank. I CONFIRMED THIS WITH TURBO TAX THEMSELVES TODAY!

[Tone21]

So up to a additional 3days or 3 full days for sure ?

[CassLO]

@Tone21 Once your refund status on the IRS shows "Refund Sent" it can take 1 to 5 business days for the financial institution to deposit fund into your account. Using pay with my refund can add approximately 3 business days to that timeframe, total of 7-10 business days.

So once Santa Barbara Tax Products Group receives your refund from the IRS, they will take out the fee and send to your financial institution.

So why the hell don’t y’all tell people that ? Y’all tell every body everything BUT the important stuff . That is nowhere anywhere when you sign up for the fees to be taken out . This is garbage . This is why I HATE turbo tax . Y’all always **bleep** my **bleep** up every year by doing something dumb ! It never fails . Y’all got new crap that no one knows about every year .

The refund processing service generally does not hold up or delay a deposit. I believe the issue here is that the IRS released a big batch of refunds for those that were being held for EIC and CTC (PATH Act). This may have created a delay on SBTPG's end. You can contact SBTPG by using this link: https://help.sbtpg.com/hc/en-us/articles/230084587-Contact-Information to call customer care, or this link https://help.sbtpg.com/hc/en-us/requests/new to send a message.

I agree. Most places tell you that you will get paid 2 days faster if you use them. But that rarely happens. Normally I get paid a few hours earlier. I have a ddd of the 16th but i guess not now.

You can continue to visit the IRS website for any updates to your release date.

Dang, calm yourself down; I understand people need their money, but if you work full time, budget better, then maybe you won’t be so agitated and before y’all start on the “my entire paycheck goes for bills” crap or whatever, save it, just excuses for you entitled brats who think y’all owed something. You eat out ever? Cut it back. Cable, internet, phone? Cut it back and if y’all already getting that for free, then y’all have no right to complain, because you’re getting back more than hard working Americans who don’t get government hand outs. So sick of you liberal idiots & so is everyone else

My refund was sent to my bank 7 day ago an my bank Said that they haven’t received it yet and that I need to check with the IRS and the irs told me that it was sent to my bank…. What should I do

[Mike9241]

check your return to make sure the routing and account numbers are correct. if not the check went to the bank was rejected and sent back to the IRS to issue you a paper check which will take months for you to get it.  otherwise start a refund trace
