Why Does My $11,989 Refund Show Different Dates Between TurboTax (Est. 02/17/25) and IRS Website?

Filed my taxes through TurboTax and got accepted on 01/27/25. My federal return shows as ACCEPTED on 01/27/2025, and my state PA return was ACCEPTED on 01/29/2025. I'm looking at my TurboTax dashboard right now which shows: 2024 tax return refund $12,989 Submitted: 01/27/25 Accepted: ACCEPTED 01/27/2025 IRS Refund: est. 02/17/25 STATE PA: ACCEPTED 01/29/2025 TurboTax is showing an estimated refund date of est. 02/17/25, but when I check the IRS website it shows something different. My federal refund amount is $12,989. The TurboTax dashboard has a "Download return" button and a "Where's my refund?" section that says "You can start tracking your refund after we notify you that your federal return has been accepted." But here's what's confusing me - TurboTax clearly shows my return as ACCEPTED on 01/27/2025, so I should be able to track my refund, right? But the dates aren't matching up between what TurboTax says and what the IRS website is showing. Anyone know why there's different dates showing up? Has anyone else experienced this discrepancy between TurboTax's estimated date and what the IRS actually shows? Would calling the IRS help clarify this or is this normal processing time difference?

Did you claim EIC or child tax credit? That usually makes it take longer than what TT estimates

CP2000 Notice for 2021 Back Taxes - Will IRS Take My 2024 Refund?

Just got hit with a notice saying I owe back taxes from 2021. The due date is March 10, 2025. Not sure if they're gonna snatch my current refund or if I'll still get it and just need to handle the 2021 payment separately. Anyone deal with this before?

This happened to me last year! They took my whole refund but at least it cleared the old debt. Bright side ig ๐Ÿฅฒ

Filed 2/15, still processing - IRS won't explain missing 2020 verification issue

Filed my return back in February and transcript still shows processing status. Called IRS multiple times but getting nowhere. They wont tell me if Im getting my refund or whats causing the hold up. Never filed in 2020 and didnt request any verification letter for that year either but they keep bringing it up. Anyone know what's going on?

Call your local taxpayer advocate service! They actually helped me break through the wall of silence

Check your wage and income transcript for 2020. If theres any income reported, thats probably why theyre asking about 2020

0 coins

how do i check that???

0 coins

Go to irs.gov, make an account if you dont have one, then look for wage & income transcript. Or use taxr.ai - it'll tell you everything you need to know about your transcripts
