Question

Anyone filed with Turbo Tax and noticed their refund is lower than what was approved? Do turbo tax take hidden fees?

I’ve been filing with TT for almost 10

yrs now and I’ve never seen any hidden fees. In fact, you get to a page where you’re able to see any and all fees and you have the option to continue or not.

I filed with them a couple of times before but never had issues until this year, so I was curious to know if any changes were made.

Did you already get your refund? My return was accepted on the 27th but still shows received.

Same here, mine said accepted through turbo tax but the irs tracking just shows that it's been received.

If your refund isn’t as large as you expected, there are a lot of reasons that could be the case:
