Only the IRS and/or your state can provide you with an exact date for your deposits. If you are seeing that date on the IRS's Where's My Refund site; that is the most accurate date and when you should receive your deposit. You'll need to track the status on their websites for updates on your deposit date for your refund. See below for how to do this.
NOTE: If you are seeing that date on the TurboTax Refund Tracker, that is just an estimated date based on data ranges of customers that have already filed. It's not an exact date.
Once you have filed successfully using TurboTax, the IRS and/or state handles all processing of the returns and your refunds. TurboTax does not do any processing/handling of the returns and refunds. And the government no longer send updates to TurboTax once your return has been accepted. Processing times can vary; so keep an eye out on their tracking pages for updates.
- They generally issue refunds within 21 days of being accepted, but that can sometimes take longer depending on your tax situation.
And you can use your State Department of Revenue's website to check status of
state tax refund. Choose your state here
How do I track my state refund? and it will give you steps to track the status.
- Some states put a notice on their refund tracking page to let you know how long processing takes; some do not. If there is no notice, no need to be alarmed; just give them time to process it. If it's not showing in their system, that means they have not started processing it yet.
Keep in mind, if you claimed
Earned Income/Additional Child Tax credit on your return, the government held those returns until around mid-February. And refunds from those returns will start releasing in
late February. You can find more details on that here
