Answer

Up to 5 days early!¹ We make your refund available as soon as we receive notification of payment from the IRS; if the IRS submits refund information before the release date, you’ll get your refund sooner. The IRS may not submit refund information early, but we’ll post a tax refund as soon as we get it.
