If you
chose to pay TurboTax with your federal refund, once the IRS reviews and
approves your federal refund, the amount is sent to a third-party, who
processes the TurboTax fees and the remaining amount is deposited into the bank
account you provided. The state refund(s) must be reviewed and approved and
will be sent directly from the state department(s) of revenue (no third-party
is involved).
Per the following Santa Barbara Tax Products
Group link, https://help.sbtpg.com/hc/en-us/articles/230084467-How-long-does-it-take-to-get-my-refund-:
"How does the Refund Transfer work?
Usually
1 to 2 days before a refund is scheduled to arrive, the IRS sends a
pre-notification of the refund amount to TPG. The IRS does not deposit
the money at this time, but it is only a notification that the refund is on its
way. We set up the disbursement upon receiving that pre-notification so that
the money reaches the taxpayer on the same day it would have if the money was
deposited directly from the the IRS into the taxpayer’s bank account."
