That "5 day early" offer might be creating some unrealistic hopes.
TurboTax has NO control over the amount of time it can take the IRS to process your tax return. The date shown to you on the TT site is an estimate based on a 21 day average processing time, which is NOT a promise from TT or from the IRS.
Has the IRS accepted your e-file?
First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

Has the IRS processed your tax return and provided an issue date for the refund on the IRS refund site?
You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount (line 35a of your 2024 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

Are you subject to the PATH act which means if you are getting earned income credit or additional child tax credit they are required to hold your refund until February 15?

If you are subject to PATH, you should not expect your refund until late February at best.
