asked: "What if you don’t receive your return 5 days early?"

In the first paragraph below I had said "IRS release date" when I meant to say "IRS settlement date." It's now been corrected.

I don't know if you chose that offer with the option for your refund go to your bank account or to go to a Credit Karma Money checking account. But in any case, if it's not within the 5-day period prior to the IRS settlement date, then you should not be charged. See the TurboTax statement lower down.
Actually that offer says "up to" 5 days early, so it's not necessarily the full 5 days. You shouldn't be charged (hopefully) if it doesn't arrive early at all. If you do get charged anyway, we can tell you how to phone TurboTax Support.
"Up to 5 Days Early Guarantee: If your federal refund is not deposited into your selected bank account at least 1 day before the IRS refund settlement date (the date it would have arrived if sent from the IRS directly), then you will not pay the Up to 5 Days Early fee."

Oops, I mistyped above. I originally said within 5 days prior to the IRS release date for the funds, but I meant to say within 5 days prior to the IRS settlement date. I have edited that above. Sorry for any confusion. The TurboTax paragraph I pasted above says it correctly. I caught it pretty quickly, but you may have been emailed a copy of the original before it was corrected.
