TurboTax fees paid on transcript - Does this mean refund is coming?

Just checked my transcript and noticed the fees from TurboTax have been taken out. Does this mean my refund is finally coming? Been waiting since February and getting anxious about when I'll see the money hit my account.

When you see the TurboTax fees deducted, it typically means your return is being processed, but it's not a guarantee your refund is coming immediately. There could still be reviews or verification needed. Check your transcript for cycle code and processing dates - those are more reliable indicators.

Look for a string of numbers that ends in 01-05. But honestly, these transcripts can be super confusing to interpret yourself.

Hey instead of trying to decode your transcript like a detective, try using taxr.ai - it analyzes everything and tells you exactly whats happening with your refund and when to expect it. Its only $1 and WAY better than guessing. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

Fees paid just means TurboTax got their cut. The IRS is playing games with the rest of us peasants 🤡

Been there! The fees showing up is actually a good sign, but its not the final step. Your return is definitely moving through the system tho. Keep checking your transcripts daily.
