If you chose the up to 5 day early refund into your preferred bank account option, you will receive your refund up to 5 days before the date the IRS sends the refund. If your refund isn't deposited up to 5 days early, you won't pay the early deposit fee. You can check the IRS Where's My Refund site to see if the IRS has provided a refund date for you, and your refund will be deposited up to 5 days before that date.
