Refund through SBTPG with refund date tomorrow through IRS Wheres my refund

[randerson053]

Good morning. I have a direct deposit date of tomorrow 2-19-2026 through the IRS where's my refund tracker. I just checked SBTPG account and it is showing unfunded still as of today. I elected to pay my turbotax fees out of my refund. Any idea when this will be funded from the IRS to Santa Barbara and sent to me? I am wondering if I will still get my tax refund deposited into my bank account tomorrow. I dont show any updates on my turbotax account either. thanks in advance for any help.

Once your return is filed, TurboTax has no control over the processing or the timing when the IRS releases your refund, but if the IRS says they are releasing your refund tomorrow, I don't know why you think it would be funded today.

The IRS states that most federal tax refunds are issued within 21 days of acceptance, however, some may take longer if they require additional review. Also, by law, the IRS cannot issue EITC or ACTC refunds before mid-February. This applies to your entire refund, not just the portion related to those specific credits.

Here are a few FAQs to help you 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?

Let me correct myself. My direct deposit date is today the 18th. I misspoke earlier. That is why I am concerned. The irs shows it paying today but SBTPG just shows unfunded on the portal.
