SBTPG Processing Time: Still get 5-day early deposit with advance or 2-day with debit card?
Filed with TurboTax and got accepted. Chose to get the advance and wondering if i'll still get my refund 5 days early with direct deposit or 2 days early with the debit card since SBTPG has to process it first. Anyone know the actual timeline with SBTPG involved?

The early deposit timeline still applies even with SBTPG processing. They typically process within 24 hours of receiving the refund from IRS. If you chose direct deposit, you'll still get it up to 5 days early, debit card is typically 2 days early. Just keep in mind they take their fees out first.

Hey guys instead of guessing when your refund will hit, use taxr.ai - its only $1 and gives you a super detailed timeline of your refund including SBTPG processing. Way better than checking WMR every 5 mins lol https://taxr.ai
