Long wait this year

West91 — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 05:05:57 GMT

I filed on the 26th I’m suppose to get my deposit tomorrow hopefully it’s no delay bc it’s been over 21 days. I’m staying up tonight just to make sure it’s there in 3 minutes!

21 days was an estimate---not a promise. Only the IRS controls when you get your refund. Has the IRS given you a refund date yet? Even after the IRS issues your refund they advise you to allow up to five days for it to post to your account.

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control. TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount (line 35a of your 2021 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.

@West91 Did you receive yours yet? Mines says the 24th as well and it’s 1:07am on the 24th where I’m at and I still haven’t received and update in the Where’s My Refund tool nor in my bank account and usually my bank makes funds available after they have received the deposit.
