TurboTax can only give you an estimate for when the federal tax refund will arrive, based on the IRS 21 day average for issuing a tax refund after receiving the tax return.

Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.

Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.

If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds

If accepted by the state use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_...

After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.

FROM THE IRS WHERE’S MY REFUND SITE:

https://www.irs.gov/wheres-my-refund

How it works

Where's My Refund shows your refund status:

Return Received – We received your return and are processing it.
Refund Approved – We approved your refund and are preparing to issue it by the date shown.
Refund Sent – We sent the refund to your bank or to you in the mail. It may take 5 days for it to show in your bank account or several weeks for your check to arrive in the mail.

First of all, today isn't over yet. If the IRS says they will deposit your refund today, it doesn't mean they will do it first thing in the morning.

Secondly, the amount of time that it takes for a bank to post a deposit to your account varies. They do not necessarily post a deposit the instant that they receive it. Even if the bank gets the deposit from the IRS sometime today, it might not appear in your account until tomorrow, or even later. Different banks take different amounts of time to process deposits.

The information in "Where's My Refund?" on the IRS web site is updated only once a day, overnight. Whatever it says this morning, it's going to say the same thing all day. There is no point in checking it more than once a day.

Did you use the option to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your refund? If so, it does not go directly from the IRS to your bank. It has to go through an intermediary bank that deducts the fees and sends the remainder to your bank. That process takes extra days.
