    This is a public community forum, so no one here will know anything specific about your Federal refund. 

     

    Where are you seeing the date?   Is yesterday's date what you see in your Online TurboTax at the Tax Home?  If so, that is an estimate based on a common 21-day average.    Go by the IRS "Where's My Refund" too. What status or message do you see at the IRS "WMR" tool at the link below.  Does that tool give you a deposit date of yesterday?

    https://www.irs.gov/wheres-my-refund

     

    If the IRS has released and sent your refund and provided a date, they also say to allow up to 5 days for your bank to receive and process it, which can vary from bank to bank.    Also, did you participate in the " Receive refund 5 Days Early" program for a $25 fee?

     

    And if you had any TurboTax product fees, did you choose to pay the fees out of your Federal refund, or did you pay upfront?   If you chose to pay the fees out of the Federal refund, the funds go first to an intermediary bank where the fees are subtracted.   Then that third-party bank sends the rest to you in a second direct deposit.    If you DID use that option to pay TurboTax fees, we can tell you how to check on at the third party's website (SBTPG.)

    If you did NOT pay any fees that way, then this paragraph won't apply to you.
