Remember that the “”5 day early” date is based on the date given to you on the IRS refund site—-not the date the TT site shows in your account.   If your refund does not come in five days ahead of the IRS date, they are supposed to cancel the $25 fee.

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2024 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

Watch your own bank account.

What is the date that the IRS will deliver your refund in the IRS Where’s My Refund site?

Once the IRS approves a customer’s refund, TurboTax attempts to transfer the your refund to your bank account. TurboTax sends you an email letting you know if they were able to successfully deliver the refund up to 5 Days Early. 

If TurboTax was successfully able to deliver the customer’s refund up to 5 Days Early, the refund is expected to be in your bank account the same day you receive an email from TurboTax.
