    TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.

    Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control. TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

    You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 20 of your Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

    On the IRS site you are also offered the use of an app called IRS2Go

    If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.

    Who says they are supposed to be deposited today if you can't track them? If you are referring to the 21 day date provided by TurboTax, that is only a rough estimate based on historical IRS performance. You can't rely on that.

     

    Why are you not able to track your refund? Have you gone to the IRS tracking web site? https://www.irs.gov/refunds
