Federal return and state return

[tatana1986]

I filed my taxes and they got approved February 3 both of them so when do you think that I’ll receive either one of my refunds and I also paid for five days early

It normally takes up to three weeks to receive your refund.

[tatana1986]

so if I pay for five days early for my TurboTax refund, when do you think I’ll get it

This date is calculated based on 5 days prior to when the IRS releases your refund. Watch for a date on Where's My Refund? | Internal Revenue Service.

Here is more information on the 5 Day Early option: 5 Days Early

Please note: If your federal refund is deposited into your selected bank account less than 5 days before the IRS refund settlement date (the date it would have arrived if sent from the IRS directly), then you will not pay the 5 Days Early 

[tatana1986]

so the IRS is releasing funds and you’re gonna get them five days early. Why did I have to pay for them to release my funds five days earlier
