The blue bar simply indicates that the estimated date provided by Turbotax for your refund to arrive has been reached. The TurboTax date, is again, simply an estimate. The IRS will notify you if there is some kind of issue. You should continue to check the IRS website on a daily basis-the information is updated every 24 hours when available.
