@mack823 The screenshot you posted is not information that came from the IRS. That information came from your TT account. The fees are considered to be "paid" because you chose to have them deducted from your federal refund, so TT knows that they are getting their money. That does not mean the IRS actually issued your refund on the date the TT accounts shows the fee as paid. TurboTax gets no information from the IRS after you file your return. TT never knows if or when you got your refund.
ONLY the IRS can approve and issue your refund. If/when the IRS refund site says your refund has been issued then it goes first to the third party bank, and then the third party bank takes out your fees and sends the rest of the refund to you.
What does it say on the IRS refund site?
You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount (line 35a of your 2022 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:
