The blue bar in the TurboTax software shows an estimate based on the 21 days, the IRS takes to send your refund, once your return is accepted. Once your return has been accepted (received) by the government, they take over the refund status update duties, since they hold the "purse strings". Please check the IRS Where’s My Refund? site, for accurate information.
