I had my return ACCEPTED by the IRS prior to the 24th. Mine was ACCEPTED on the 21st at 545 pm. which has been confusing because I keep reading they won't start accepting them until the 24th which is obviously not the case. I reached out to Credit Karma via email and was told that I had to talk to TurboTax. I called TurboTax and spoke with a very nice lady who tried her best to help but she said she had no way of seeing if I was approved for the advance, how much I was approved for, if it was sent, or anything related to it. The fact that neither Credit Karma not TurboTax can tell me what is going on makes me think that this whole program is a joke! The website claims that 41% of people receive the advance within one hour and 99% within a day. It has been 4 days since mine was accepted! Even if I went by the whole IRS not accepting returns until the 24th, it has still been over 24 hours since then so I should have had the deposit or at least received some type of notification by now. This is absolutely ridiculous! It also appears that none of the employees responding to similar posts have any idea what is going on either. If there happens to be an employee who actually knows how this program works I would love to hear from them! Also if any customer has actually received the advance this year or at least an email about it I would love to hear from you as well. Thanks
