Question

I got a direct deposit to my account today in the exact amount of my refund! Turbotax says my refund is not expected until the 19th. Has it come early? Safe to spend?

Yes, if the IRS deposited your refund into your account then, it's safe to spend. Usually, the IRS expects most refunds to be received within 21 days from the time a return has been accepted and a refund option is selected. However, sometimes it's processed earlier than expected.
