If you paid for the 5 days early service, you will receive the refund 5 days before the federal settlement date, whatever date that may be. 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 fee.
Here's some more information on the 5 days early option: Your refund 5 days early, guaranteed
If the IRS site says March 3 for YOUR refund, then count backward five days. If the refund is not five days earlier than the IRS date, you are not supposed to be charged the $25.
But----March 3 is not carved in stone. You have to watch the refund site to see what it says for you.
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:
So even though I filed with "Earned income credit" and the IRS says anyone filed with this will receive their refund 3rd of March; I should still expect my refund 5 days BEFORE the third of March? So on the 26-27th of March I guess ? Because I payed the $25 early refund thing using the money from my actual refund?
@Jumpstar1 Here is what the IRS says about refunds that include EIC or additional child tax credit:
That doesn't day anything in regards to my original question. Yes I understand it says March third and/or some will receive before that. But it doesn't have anything about the contradiction with paying $25 to receive refund 5 days early against IRS saying regardless everyone will receive it on March 3rd if it's through the ETC at t or whatever it's called
Yes, if you paid TurboTax to have your refund delivered early you will receive it up to 5 days before the date the IRS shows. If you chose the 5 day early deposit into your preferred bank account and don't receive the refund 5 days early, you will not pay the fee.
your information is not true you are misleading people with your information according to you , you are giving a 5 day guarantee or money back but it clearly states that it’s UP TO 5 days meaning it can be 1 day or even 2 days early and TTI has fulfilled their obligation many people are signing up including myself based off of reading your misleading
I’ve notice a lot of misleading information here so I’ll clear this up IT SAYS UP to 5 DAYS BUT AS LONG AS ITS ATLEAST ONE DAY EARLY TTI HAS FULFILLED THEIR OBLIGATION SO YOU ARE ONLY GUARANTEED ONE DAY EARLY WHICH HAPPENS ON ITS OWN DEPENDING ON YOUR BANK VERY OFTEN OFFICIAL MAKING THIS DEAL A SCAM.. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY PEOPLE DONT GET SO EXCITED YOU MISS IT
I paid for the 5 days early and didn't get it....I got an email saying my refund was coming for the 14th and my wmr said the 19th....I didn't get it 5 days early so I will see next wk what day...but they charged me for it and I didn't receive it
