Return Question

[MeFlorida]

On the turbo tax app it says that my federal refund arrived 5 days early and has been received but on the IRS website it has not been sent is this automated?

The 5-day rule applies when the IRS has processed and approved your refund and a date for direct deposit has been given. For example, if you go on the IRS website and the Direct Deposit is "scheduled" for "February 27th", that's when TurboTax 5 Days Early Option kicks in; it is not based on an assumption of when it might be ready, but rather on the actual date provided by the IRS.
