After you file

That is a good question that you should ask TurboTax - we are just other users in this user-to-user forum.

TurboTax only gives the general IRS (most returns are processed withing 21 days) date.  The actual date is known only by the IRS.  TurboTax also does not adjust the general date for anything on the tax return.  TurboTax receives no feedback from the IRS after filing.

The IRS says most refunds will be issued within 21 days - some faster, some longer.

Each tax return is evaluated on it's own merits.  There is no first-in-first-out.  Two similar tax return submitted at the same time can have totally different processing times based on IRS criteria for examining  tax returns that the IRS does not divulge.

Some returns will be held for ID verification or other verification.  The IRS will send a letter if they require more information to process your tax return.
