TurboTax Fees Paid from Refund - Payment Complete Status Meaning?

I filed through TurboTax and chose to pay the fees with my refund. The status shows payment complete - does this mean my refund is coming soon? Anyone else see this and get their refund?

Tax pro here. The 'payment complete' status just means TurboTax successfully processed your payment arrangement. It doesn't necessarily mean your refund is approved or on its way. You need to check your transcript or WMR for actual refund status.

You can get it at irs.gov but honestly the transcripts are pretty confusing to read if you dont know what your looking for

I was in the same boat trying to figure this out. Someone recommended taxr.ai to me and it was a game changer. Its an AI tool that reads your transcript and tells you exactly whats going on with your refund and when to expect it. Costs like $1 but saved me hours of research. https://taxr.ai
