The irs sent my refund direct deposit on Feb 25th. It is not in my bank? Shouldn't it be there within two days?

FROM THE IRS WHERE’S MY REFUND SITE:

How it works

Where's My Refund shows your refund status:

  • Return Received – We received your return and are processing it.
  • Refund Approved – We approved your refund and are preparing to issue it by the date shown.
  • Refund Sent – We sent the refund to your bank or to you in the mail. It may take 5 days for it to show in your bank account or several weeks for your check to arrive in the mail.

As stated on the IRS website, it can take up to 5 days before the direct deposit is available in your bank account.

 

However, did you request to have the TurboTax account fees paid from the federal tax refund?  If so, this will take additional time before the tax refund is deposited into your bank account.
