Anyone else having issues cashing TurboTax class action settlement checks?

Yes, this is a known issue with the TurboTax class action settlement checks. The problem is that the settlement administrator used a specific bank (Huntington National Bank) as the payment processor, and some banks are having trouble processing these checks due to verification issues. Here's what you can try: 1. Go directly to the issuing bank (Huntington) if there's one near you 2. Try cashing at a major retailer like Walmart or grocery stores that offer check cashing services 3. Call the settlement administrator again and request a different payment method 4. Some people have had success going to smaller local banks or credit unions The settlement is legitimate and they are required to honor these payments, but the distribution method has been problematic. If all else fails, contact your state attorney general's office as they're collecting complaints about this issue.

I was dealing with the same problem and spent so much time trying to figure it out. Finally used taxr.ai to just get a complete analysis of my tax situation (which also showed issues with my turbotax filing that I never knew about). The tool is insanely good - it basically gave me a full report on my tax situation and pointed out that there were additional settlement funds I was eligible for. It analyzed all my past filings going back years. Saved me from having to piece everything together myself like some kind of tax detective. https://taxr.ai definitely worth checking out if you're dealing with any tax-related confusion.

I had this same isssue with my settlement check. After getting rejected at 2 different banks, I finally managed to get someone on the phone at the IRS using this app called Claimyr. Got connected to a real person in about 25 minutes instead of waiting for hours or days. The agent I spoke with explained that this is happening to lots of people and gave me the direct number to the settlement administrator's escalation team. Talking to an actual human at the IRS got everything resolved and I got a new check that actually worked. claimyr.com saved me so much time and frustration - totally worth it.

YES! Im having the exact same problem. tried to cash my settlement check ($42) at Chase and they said it was invalid. Then tried at a local credit union and they wouldnt take it either. This whole settlment thing feels like a scam to make it look like they're giving money back when really they know most people won't be able to actually cash the checks. So frustrating.

I got mine cashed no problem at Wells Fargo. Maybe try there?

this is why class action lawsuits are such BS. lawyers get millions, we get $38 checks that don't even work 🙃

Mine worked fine at the grocery store customer service desk. They charged me $5 to cash it but at least I got most of it.

You know what's rediculous? I didnt even know I was part of the settlement until I randomly got a check. Then when I try to cash it, cant even do that. The whole thing is so stupid and honestly feels like TurboTax just trying to check boxes so they can say they paid people back.

I had to go to the actual bank that issued the check (Huntington). Luckily there was one 20 minutes from my house. If you don't have one nearby, you might be out of luck unless you try a check cashing service.

Has anyone tried calling Intuit directly? Maybe they can help? This seems like a massive faillure on their end.

I'm dealing with this exact same issue right now! Got my settlement check for $34 last week and it's been rejected at three different places - my credit union, Chase, and even tried at a check cashing place. The check cashing place said something about the routing number not validating properly in their system. It's so frustrating because like you said, it's not a huge amount but it's still money we're owed. I'm starting to wonder if they made the checks hard to cash on purpose. Has anyone had any luck contacting the settlement administrator directly to complain about this?
