TurboTax refund date vs IRS WMR shows different dates - which one is accurate?
Filed through TurboTax and got an estimated deposit date of Feb 22nd right when my return was accepted. Now I'm seeing a message saying March 3rd. Anyone know which date is actually accurate? TurboTax hasn't updated at all since acceptance.

Always trust the WMR (Where's My Refund) tool or your IRS transcript over TurboTax estimates. TurboTax is just giving you a general 21-day window estimate. They don't have real-time access to IRS processing status like the official IRS tools do.

•You can get it at IRS.gov/transcripts - you'll need to make an ID.me account if you haven't already

Hey I've been using this tool called taxr.ai and it's been super helpful for tracking my refund status. It analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect your money. Only costs a buck but totally worth it https://taxr.ai

•Is it legit? Kinda sketchy putting transcript info into random sites 🤔

•100% legit! It's just an AI that reads the codes and explains everything in plain English. Way better than trying to decode everything yourself

Pro tip: Never trust third party tax prep software for refund dates. They're just guessing based on the standard 21 day processing time.
