Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you have Earned Income Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit, those refunds don't get sent until March 2nd.   Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, TurboTax can't access or provide updates on the status of your federal refund. 

 

The IRS Where's My Refund website will be updated with projected deposit dates for most early EITC/ACTC refund filers by February 21, 2026.
