When the status of your refund is Refund Sent, it means the IRS has sent your refund to your financial institution for direct deposit. This status will tell you when your refund was sent to your bank. It may take your financial institution 1 – 5 days to deposit the funds into your account. Please wait until it’s been five days from the date we sent the refund to your bank to check with your bank about the status of your refund. This time frame is provided to allow for the variations in how and when banks deposit funds. If you haven't received your refund in your account after the 5 day waiting period, you can call the IRS. IRS representatives will be able to research the status of your refund if your return was accepted (received) more than 21 calendar days ago. The number to call them at is 1-800-829-1040, but prepare yourself for a potentially long wait times.

Please see the following IRS link for more information:

I see.. it just may take a few days for irs to be notified that the refund that they sent through direct deposit won't go through to an account netspend said does not exist which then maybe irs will notify me that I should expect a paper check..but not yet so far..so I am guessing Turbo Tax has already gotten their money then somehow. It is all a guess and wait and see.

In this instance it says my state return was deposited on Friday 2/14, here it is Monday three days later and I see nothing, please help me understand.

Same still waiting for mine to show on my account. Did you get yours?

If your return has been accepted and you have a direct deposit date showing on the Where's My Refund? site, it will also tell you what to do if you don't receive your refund within a certain amount of days. You would first want to reach out to your banking institution if it's past the given amount of days. Then, you can also call the IRS directly to check on your refund status:

It can take up to 5 business days for your bank to deposit your tax return into your account. If the status in Where’s My Refund? shows “Refund Sent”, the IRS has sent your tax refund to your bank for direct deposit. If you don't receive it in after 5 business days, then you should contact your bank.

I haven't received my state tax and the estimated date was on 02/19. I chose electronic deposit too. Should I call IRS, my bank or just wait it out?

LindseyLO

Give it a few more days. Sometimes it takes your bank a few days to process your refund into your account.

If your refund takes longer and you do not receive it refer to the link below for help with contacting the IRS.

What is the status of the federal tax refund as shown on the IRS website for Federal tax refunds? - https://www.irs.gov/refunds

My 2019 refund was never deposited into my account. I sent a paper file in, but electronically deposited my refund.

Where's my refund doesn't work and I have even called my bank. I cannot get IRS on the phone nor can get someone to answer to get an appt. What to do?? It has now been 1 1/2 year since I filed.

Maybe they didn't get your tax return. Did you get a tracking number from the post office when you mailed it? Did you mail it separately from your state return? They go to different places.

You can request a transcript from the IRS to make sure you filed
