Generally, the IRS sends out their Direct Deposits on THURSDAYS, so that they are credited to the apprpriate accounts by Fridays. There are times when the refund gets sent early, but this is rare. They have deposit cycles. If a return is acknowledged by the IRS by noon on Wednesday, the earliest the refund is expected to be in the taxpayer's account is the Friday 9 days later.
The IRS deposits it very early Friday morning, sometimes at midnight. When it shows up depends on ur bank. Sometimes it can be like 3 in the morning on Friday or 3 in the afternoon. However, some banks do not release the funds to their customers for up to three days. Hopefully for you, it will be early that day.
