I got my 846 code the other day with a DDD of 2/24. wmr hadnt updated yet but 2/19 would be the 5 day early date. Today, my WMR updated and TT shows "Your federal refund arrived 5 days early on 02/19!" which just isnt true. It feels and looks like turbotax is just trying to take the 25$. If they werent able to be ahead of WMR and get people their refunds 5 days early why offer it at all? 

Why would it say i received my refund 5 days early when i havent?

    You should get an email from TurboTax when your refund is on its way. Some didn't get an email until late in the day, but still got their deposit.

    5 Days Early Option

     

    If you don't get your deposit, there is a few reasons why that might happen.

     

    • Your refund was offset or differed from their estimated refund amount, bringing the refund amount below the minimum threshold or above the maximum. What is a refund offset?
    • Your bank wouldn't accept RTP (Real Time Payments) or Same Day ACH deposits, preventing Intuit from depositing your refund 5 days ahead of when the IRS would have deposited your refund.
    • The IRS didn't give Intuit 5 or more days of notice in advance. This stopped Intuit from meeting the up to 5 days early expectations.

    If TurboTax is unable to deliver the refund up to 5 days early, your order will be canceled and you won't be charged the 5-Day Early fee. You will receive a follow-up email with a refund and timing update, and if any cancellation is applicable. 

     

    If you don’t receive an update email or an automatic refund (if applicable) within a few days, you can contact TurboTax Customer Support by clicking the link below.
