Download your TurboTax PDF and look at the very last pages. There should be a section called "Bank Fee Disclosure" or something similar that shows exactly what they charged you. Be warned: you're gonna be mad when you see it all itemized š¤”
Just found it and... WOW. You're right. I had no idea they were charging me for all these things. Some of them I don't even remember agreeing to!
Somethings not adding up... Even with ALL the TurboTax fees, $800 seems excessive. I'd demand an itemized breakdown from them. Make them explain every penny of that difference.
You'd be surprised. Deluxe package ($120) + state filing ($50) + refund transfer fee ($40) + audit protection ($60) + refund advance application ($50) + any add-on services can easily hit $400-500. Then if they filed for multiple states or had other premium features, $800 isn't impossible.
jesus that's highway robbery! no wonder intuit makes billions š¤®
yall need to stop using these tax prep services that take fees out of your refund. EVERY YEAR ppl have issues with this. Just pay the fee upfront or use one of the free options, then direct deposit to your own bank account. Simple.
FreeTaxUSA is literally $0 for federal and like $15 for state. If you can't afford $15 upfront maybe you got bigger problems than a delayed refund js
facts. plus the IRS has free filing options if your income is under like 73k
The way the IRS system works is so messed up. I wish they would just simplify everything and make it transparent. So many people depend on their refunds and the process is deliberately obtuse.
I was in this exact situation 2 months ago. They told me a letter was mailed June 5, and I didn't get it until June 24! When I called to complain they just said "mail delivery is beyond our control" and wouldn't extend my response deadline. Such BS.
Ugh that's awful. I'm hoping mine comes quickly!
My husband and I file married joint and both got identical letters about our refund adjustment. His arrived 4 days before mine even though they were supposedly mailed same day! Mail system makes no sense.
The IRS and TurboTax might as well be on different planets when it comes to communication š When I couldn't get a straight answer about my refund, I finally reached an IRS agent through the claimyr.com service and they confirmed everything was fine and my refund was about to be sent. Went from panicking to relaxed in one phone call. Best decision I made during tax season.
If your transcript has a DDD, your money is coming. period. TurboTax status updates are about as reliable as a weather forecast from 3 weeks ago. Just wait until your DDD and check your bank account. TT probably won't send an email until after you already have your money š¹

If anyone is confused by all the transcript codes, I had NO idea what I was looking at until I tried taxr.ai - completely broke down what every code meant and why my refund was held up. Apparently I had an income verification issue I didn't even know about. The tool showed me exactly what was happening and when I'd likely get my DDD. Super helpful since the IRS website is so vague. https://taxr.ai

ā¢I've been trying to understand my transcript for weeks and was about to give up. Just checked out taxr and it literally explained everything in 2 minutes. Why doesn't the IRS make their systems this clear??

ā¢Right?? The IRS seems to intentionally make everything confusing. My favorite part was how it explained WHY I was getting each notice instead of just what the codes meant.

I called the IRS yesterday using claimyr.com (they get you through to an agent when the lines are busy) and they confirmed my DDD of 4/15 is correct. The agent said most banks will receive the funds 1-2 days before the DDD but when they release it depends on the bank's policy. Talking to an actual human at the IRS gave me peace of mind.

ā¢They don't need any tax info. They just need your phone number to call you back once they get an agent on the line. Then you talk directly to the IRS.
