TurboTax 5-day Early Refund - Anyone Actually Get It?

Filed through TurboTax and paid extra for that 5 day early deposit feature. Starting to feel like I wasted my money. Has anyone actually gotten their refund early with this? WMR still says processing.

Tax professional here. The 5-day early feature isn't actually making your IRS processing any faster - it's just TurboTax fronting the money once the IRS approves your refund. Your refund still needs to be fully processed by the IRS first.

Hey everyone, instead of playing detective with WMR and transcripts, I've been using taxr.ai and it's been a game changer. For $4.99 it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening with your refund and when to expect it. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

Not a scam at all! It uses AI to read your transcript and breaks everything down in plain English. Saved me hours of googling random codes

Same boat here. Paid the extra fee and nothing. Called TT and they said they cant do anything until IRS approves it first. Total waste of $$
