So I clicked on the turbo tax assistant and it said my refund was accepted and they issued a refund. Is that possible after only 3 days?

Then it says I’m getting my refund on credit karma on the 28th

I have seen the IRS issue refunds in as little as 4 days from when the IRS accepts it for processing ... processing of returns will begin tomorrow on the 23rd so a DD of the 28th is very possible.

That’s awesome. Mine was accepted in an early batch. Which I didn’t even know they did.

Did you sign up for the Refund Advance? That comes asap after the IRS accepts your return.

FYI ... don't start spending the refund until it is POSTED to your bank account ... I have seen refunds put on hold for a variety of reasons. Check the IRS site ... once the refund is approved it must be released and the accepting bank must post it to your account ... until that last step is final a refund can be recalled at anytime.
