My return was accepted on January 17th I paid the extra $40 for early filing just to find out about the EIC not until February 15th I'm hearing all kinds of crazy things of due dates will be by the 22nd released but payments not until March some people are saying they've already received due dates do we get our $40 back from TurboTax since we couldn't be early filers
There is no option or payment for early filing. You could e-file a 2019 tax return at any time using TurboTax after January 4, 2020 with no e-file fees using the online editions. The TurboTax account fees are for the use of the software to assist in completing a tax return. The fees are the same whether a tax return is e-filed or printed.
What you are probably referring to is the $40 service charge to have your TurboTax account fees paid from the federal tax refund.
Filing a tax return early provides no benefit whatsoever. The IRS did not start accepting tax returns for processing until January 27, 2020.
If your tax return included the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and/or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) then see this IRS website for information on receiving a federal tax refund - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/refund-timing
