The 21 days of my return is 02202025 and I signed up for the 5 days early return which is 02-15-2025 guaranteed. Is it still in the making?

You should receive your refund 5 days early. This date is calculated based on 5 days prior to when the IRS releases your refund.

 

Here is more information on the 5 Day Early option: 5 Days Early

 

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 

What date are you using?

 

Remember that the “”5 day early” date is based on the date given to you on the IRS refund site—-not the date the TT site shows in your account.   If your refund does not come in five days ahead of the IRS date, they are supposed to cancel the $25 fee.

 

I am using the date that was accepted by IRS (01302025)

You do not count the 5 days early from the date your return was accepted.  You misunderstood.

 

Use the refund date the IRS gives you on the IRS refund site.

 

Remember that the “”5 day early” date is based on the date given to you on the IRS refund site—-not the date the TT site shows in your account.   If your refund does not come in five days ahead of the IRS date, they are supposed to cancel the $25 fee.

 

You need to go by the date the IRS releases your refund found on Where's My Refund.

 

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