So my transcript says 02/25 /2025 I got the EIC, and I applied for the 5 days early with TurboTax. Will I  receive my refund today??

@graciej333  I hope we are all getting one! Let us know when you receive yours!!

You should receive it 5 days earlier than the date you see on Where's My Refund.  Once your return is filed, TurboTax has no control over the processing of your return or the release of your refund. Due to PATH Act, the IRS is required to hold refunds for customers with the EIC until March 3. 

Once your return is accepted, you can use this link to check the status of your refund. Where’s My Refund?

Once the IRS  processes your tax return and provides an issue date for the refund on the IRS refund site, you will count back five days from that date.

If you do not receive your refund five days earlier than the date on the IRS refund site, you will not be charged the $25 fee..

It says byo March 3rd it doesn't say released it says release by March 3rd. My transcript says 02/25/2025 I should be getting it today or I would like to get my $25 back from TurboTax

The 5-day rule applies when the IRS has processed and approved your refund and a date for direct deposit has been given. For example, if you go on the IRS website and the Direct Deposit is "scheduled" for "February 27th", that's when TurboTax 5 Days Early Option kicks in; it is not based on an assumption of when it might be ready, but rather on the actual date provided by the IRS.

5 Days Early Option

If TurboTax is unable to deliver the refund 5 days early, your order will be canceled and you won't be charged the 5 Day Early fee. You will receive a follow-up email with refund and timing update, and if any cancellation is applicable. 

If you don’t receive an update email or an automatic refund (if applicable) within a few days, you can contact TurboTax Customer Support by clicking the link below
