If you chose to have your TurboTax fees paid out of your Federal refund, and if the IRS has released the funds, here's how you can check on the funds at the level of the third-party company SBTPG that handles that process to take out your fees.

Here's how you can use SBTPG's refund lookup tool.

Go to this page below and choose the "For Taxpayers" portal.
https://www.sbtpg.com/

On the next screen choose "Check with TPG."

SBTPG has a phone contact page at the following link. It also shows their business hours.  Even when they are closed, you may be able to get automated info, or you can log in as above and use SBTPG's refund lookup tool.

@Adamstonack That may depend on when your bank posts deposits.   The IRS tells you to allow 1-5 days for the deposit to post.

I also bank with Dave. Irs says deposit today 2/24/22 but nothing in my spending account. Its 10:20 est. Dont know what is going on. 

Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted?
Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.

You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large Orange button labeled "Transmit my returns now".

After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.

Note - Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.  Only the taxpayer listed on the tax return can obtain the status of a tax refund or a tax return.

To check the status of an e-filed return, open up your desktop product or log into your TurboTax Online Account. You can find your status within the TurboTax product.
If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds
If accepted by the state use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1899433-how-do-i-track-my-state-refund

After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.

It was scheduled for the 24th and hit my account late in the evening on the 24th at 7pm so yes it really could be anytime during the deposit date. 

Please see the above post from @Critter-3

Was your refund supposed to go directly from the IRS to your bank, or did you have any TurboTax fees that you chose to pay out of the Federal refund?  

If you chose to pay any fees out of the Federal refund, the funds go first from the IRS to a temporary account at an intermediary bank where the fees are subtracted.   Then that intermediary bank sends the rest of the funds on to your bank (or card.)   If you DID use that method to pay fees, and if the IRS has actually sent the funds, you can check on the funds at the level of the intermediary company (SBTPG) using SBTPG's refund lookup tool.
To log in, choose the "For taxpayers" portal at:

If you did NOT use that method to pay fees, then the info above about SBTPG won't apply to you.
