Refund bar

So out of curiosity can someone explain why it went from est 2.7.25 refund date to this status bar ? I dgaf about people explaining the path act becuz I do have 2 kids I’ve claimed .. however my friend also has a child she claimed and has an est date of 2.11.25 …. I’m trying to understand what would have caused this to go from a refund POTENTIAL DATE. Also she filed probably 5 days after me . I filed 1.8.25 somehow got accepted 1.17.25 then started refund est 2.7.25 never got the money Friday (pissed but whatever ) so can someone help explain why it just says refund delivery?

Ignore the "refund bar" on the TT site.   Use the IRS refund site for reliable information.  Only the IRS is in control.

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

 

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:
