Tax Refund Turbotax
Question: Are Tax Refund checks being mailed out ealier?
I filed my taxes online through TurboTax on 02-24-09. It was accepted the following day. When I checked the status through IRS it says my check is scheduled to be mailed out on 03-06-09. But the IRS schedule says it should not be mailed out till the 13th. Are the checks being mailed out ahead of time?
Answer: They mail them when they indicate they are scheduled to be mailed. The date you viewed online is the trigger for their system to generate the check. Unless something require further review, they are generally true to the date.
