Tax refund

Why did I pay the fee to have it 5 days early to not get it 5 days early. My scheduled date is 2/26/25 but doesn’t that mean I should have received it 2/21/25? I’m not sure how I know tons of people that got there’s 5 days early and I don’t when I been a customer here and paid the fee. It’s not right tbh at least waive our fees since we didn’t get it early.

Tax refund

The 5 day early fee is deducted from your refund.  If it is not provided 5 days early it will not be deducted.

 

The 5 day early date is based on the date given to you on the IRS website.

  • The receipt of your refund 5 Days Early is subject to IRS submitting refund information to us at least 5 days before the refund settlement date.
  • IRS does not always provide refund settlement information 5 days early.
  • You will not be eligible to receive your refund 5 Days Early if
  1. you take a Refund Advance loan,
  2. IRS delays payment of your refund, or
  3. your bank’s policies do not allow for same-day payment processing.
  • The 5 Days Early fee will be deducted directly from your refund prior to being deposited to your bank account.
  • If your refund cannot be delivered 5 Days Early, you will not be charged the 5 Days Early fee. 5 Days Early program may change or be discontinued at any time.

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 fee. See Terms of Service for more details.
