Refund Status

Good morning, 

 

My name is Evelyn De Leon. I received a message from you all stating my tax return won't show up in my bank account till March 3rd yet the IRS approved it since January 27th, is there a reason why I'm not allow the 5 day early release funds? If I'm not allowed due to child credit can I please get my money back for the 5 day early release I paid please. I'm highly depending on this money for bills to be paid this month of February.

Once your return is filed, TurboTax has no control over the processing of your return or the release of your refund.

 

Due to PATH Act, the IRS holds refunds for EITC/ACTC customers until March 3.  You should still receive your refund 5 days early. This date is calculated based on 5 days prior to when the IRS releases your refund.

 

Here are a couple FAQs to track your refund:
When will I get my federal tax refund?
How do I track my state refund?
Why does Where's My Refund say "approved" but TurboTax still says "accepted"?

 

Why do some refunds take longer than others?

What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days?

 

Please note: If your federal refund is deposited into your selected bank account less than 5 days before the IRS refund settlement date (the date it would have arrived if sent from the IRS directly), then you will not pay the 5 Days Early
