Will I receive my federal refund today (2/21/2025) since I signed up to receive my refund 5 days early? I have a refund issued for 2/26/2025.

We're not sure.  The up to 5 day early date is based on the date given to you on the IRS website.

Please click here to enter your information  Check Your Refund .

The up to 5 day early fee is deducted from your refund.  If it is not provided up to 5 days early it will not be deducted.

• The receipt of your refund up to 5 Days Early is subject to IRS submitting refund information to us up to 5 days before the refund settlement date.
• IRS does not always provide refund settlement information 5 days early.
• You will not be eligible to receive your refund up to 5 Days Early if

1. you take a Refund Advance loan,
2. IRS delays payment of your refund, or
3. your bank’s policies do not allow for same-day payment processing.

• The up to 5 Days Early fee will be deducted directly from your refund prior to being deposited to your bank account.
• If your refund cannot be delivered up to 5 Days Early, you will not be charged the up to 5 Days Early fee. The up to 5 Days Early program may change or be discontinued at any time.

If your federal refund is deposited into your selected bank account up to 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. See Terms of Service for more details.

I have a refund date of 2/26/2025 on my tax transcript. Would TurboTax have that information? When I look on my TurboTax account it still says I signed up to get my refund 5 days early and it shows there will be a $25 fee taken out.

You should get an email from TurboTax when your refund is on its way. Some didn't get an email until late in the day, but still got their deposit.

Same here with the same question you have about 5 days early and ,I have yet to receive an email from TT nor have I received my dd. 

Post an update if you get an email or deposit later today.

[breannastrawn95]

I have an update! My refund issue date was 2/26/2025 and I received my refund today (2/21/2025) with the 5 days early that TurboTax does. I received my refund today (2/21/2025) at 5pm due to my bank, Wells Fargo.

[Stillwaitingdd]

Really!! I bank with the same bank. Going to check again. Thanks for the update!! Congrats. Enjoy your weekend

Im part of the PATH Act….TT gave me an est. DDD of 2/20. My transcript updated with code 846 issue date 2/26/25. I received my refund about an hour ago (6pm CST). My status never changed on TT or WMR and I didn’t receive a text or email saying my deposit posted. The money was just there. 

[tiffluv81]

[Stillwaitingdd]

Welp! My refund just posted!! TT promised a 5 day early delivery and they delivered 5 days early. 846 refund issued 2/26/25 on transcript. WMR never updated. See you guys next year TT. ✌️

[Wdscheer77]

I’m curious, did you opt to get your refund 5 days early? I did the loan advance so I didn’t qualify, but my refund issued date on transcript says 2/26/25 and I am praying that date isn’t set in stone and my return will pop up any time.

[tiffluv81]

I did not do 5 days early nor did I do a loan( wish I did) anyways mine does say ddd 02262025. I have wellsfargo and nothing so far
