Where is my refund?

So just out of curiosity if anyone can help me out. This is my 6th year of using TT and I’ve never had so many issues with it until this year. I paid for the 5 days early. Original DDD was 2/26/25. It’s the 24th and still nothing??

With Up to 5 Days Early, you have the flexibility to have your federal refund deposited into your preferred bank account 5 days earlier than the date your refund would have arrived if sent from the IRS directly. The fee is taken out of your refund amount only if delivered at least up to 5 days early."

Once the IRS approves your refund, TurboTax will be notified and we’ll attempt to transfer your refund to your bank account. TurboTax will then send you an email letting you know if we were able to successfully deliver your refund up to 5 Days Early or if we were unable to expedite your refund. If we were successfully able to deliver your refund up to 5 Days Early, you can expect to see your refund in your bank account the same day you received an email from us.

If we were unable to expedite your refund, your refund will be delivered by the date provided in the IRS Where’s My Refund site and you will not be charged for the up to 5 Days Early. You will also see a notice that “We could not expedite your refund. No The Up to 5 day early fee was charged” as part of your TurboTax refund tracker.
