TurboTax Accepted My Return on 01/17/2025 - How Long Until Refund Arrives? Need for Upcoming Bills

Just got the acceptance notification from turbotax for my return! According to the notification, my return was "ACCEPTED 01/18/2025". Anyone know how long it typically takes after acceptance to get the refund? First time filing with TurboTax and want to know what to expect. I'm a bit anxious because I'm counting on this money to pay some bills that are coming due soon. I submitted my return earlier this week and got the acceptance notification today. Is there a standard timeframe between the "ACCEPTED" status and when the refund actually hits my account? Do I need to keep checking the IRS Where's My Refund tool, or will TurboTax notify me of status changes? Just trying to plan my finances for the next few weeks.

IRS processing time is typically 21 days from acceptance for a simple return. If you claimed EIC or CTC it could take longer. You can check Where's My Refund on IRS.gov after 24 hours to track your status.

Best way to actually track your refund is with taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect your money. Its $4.99 but totally worth it vs playing detective with your transcript. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

100% works! Used it for both my 2023 and 2022 returns. Gave me the exact date I'd get paid both times

Make sure you have direct deposit set up, way faster than waiting for a check in the mail
