Refund Processing Fees Effecting Return

Hello So I've used my Federal Refund to pay for my fees on Turbotax. And I know my refund should come within 21 days does this take longer now, I just found out this information less than 5 minutes ago since I've used the Turbotax option to pay for my Efile, instead of using my Debt Card. Wow! this is new informative information I didnt know it can hold up your refund???  So this can take a week or 2 am I correct or what does this mean?

No, this means the IRS is still working on your return. Once they are finished it will be moved to approved and then you will receive a direct deposit date. 

 

You can track your return by checking the Where's My Refund website located here

 

If you elected to have your fees deducted from your refund, the IRS will send your return to Santa Barbara Bank, where they will deduct the fees and then deposit any remaining refund into your account.
