IRS says everyone (including me) will receive refund on March third if filed with EITC ; but I payed $25 fee to receive it 5 days early, so which is it ?

Anyone who filed with EITC are receiving their electronic and direct deposit refund on March 3rd (I understand that don't send me link.to EITC page I already read it). But what if I payed $25 on turbo tax for 5 day early refund?? Does that mean I'll receive it (through direct deposit since I opted for that option) 5 days before March 3rd?? Am I not making myself clear ? Lol

If you filed with the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), the IRS states that you can expect your refund by March 3rd if there are no issues with your return. However, since you paid TurboTax a $25 fee to receive your refund 5 days early, you should expect to see your refund 5 days earlier than March 3.

For more details, you can check the IRS guidelines on EITC refunds and TurboTax's early refund options.
