Refund next business day message

Hey all! I got an email stating that my taxes were on the way. I am expecting a refund and it said by next business day.

I've checked and this morning and nothing. IRS site tells me refund was approved and to check back if it wasn’t been credited to my account by March 3rd. 
Does anyone have experience with this? TIA

While you do get a date from the Internal Revenue Service as to when your refund should be available, they do not specify exact times. If you have a deposit date of today and have not received your refund yet, be patient.

 

There are no fixed times or hours when you can receive your 2024 tax refund during the 2025 Tax Season.

 

Additionally, each bank varies on when they post direct deposits. Even if your bank "usually" posts direct deposits at a certain time, they may handle Tax Refunds differently. Some banks might post once in the morning and once in the afternoon, only one time a day, and some may instantly.

 

In the Community, we do not have access to your TurboTax account and can not tell you where your refund is or why you do not have your deposit yet.

 

If your refund date has passed and you have not received your refund, it may be that your direct deposit, for a variety of reasons, was not able to be completed and your refund is coming as a paper check to the address on your return.

That sucks for those of us on EST. I won't get ours until 4pm to 6pm. I have never had to wait on my refund like this.
