my refund date is 02/26/2025 Wich is today and I was just wondering do the irs start sending refunds after midnight

No one can tell you what time your own bank will post your refund.  Those times vary with individual banks.  You just have to watch your account.

And...

FROM THE IRS WHERE’S MY REFUND SITE:

How it works

Where's My Refund shows your refund status:

• Return Received – We received your return and are processing it.
• Refund Approved – We approved your refund and are preparing to issue it by the date shown.
• Refund Sent – We sent the refund to your bank or to you in the mail. It may take 5 days for it to show in your bank account or several weeks for your check to arrive in the mail.
