State Refund on Hold - No Offset Showing but TurboTax Fees Might Be Issue?
My state refund is completely frozen and theres no offset showing up anywhere. I used turbotax this year and had the fees taken out of my refund. Could that be whats holding everything up? Anyone else experiencing this or know what to do?

Tax professional here - TurboTax fees shouldn't cause a complete hold on your state refund. This sounds more like a verification issue. Check your state's revenue website and look for any letters they might have sent. Many states are increasing their fraud prevention measures this year which can cause delays.

•In that case, you should call your state tax agency directly. The hold might be related to identity verification.

•Does it work for state returns too? Or just federal?

Not TurboTax. My sister had the same issue and it turned out her employer filed her W2 late with the state. Might wanna check that.

Did you opt for the refund transfer where TurboTax takes their fee from your refund? That can sometimes cause a delay but not a complete hold.
