I filed my taxes through turbotax. I received my state taxes via direct deposit, no problem. I finally received a check from Santa Barbara Tax Products Group for $151.96 less than what it should have been. I assumed that this was for the paper check but even that is a ridiculous amount, especially considering that I know for sure that my direct deposit works considering I got my state taxes back! Not to mention, on this form, it says "We were unable to complete a deposit of your 2020 federal (an state, if applicable) income tax using the designated account information. As a result, your refund minus authorized fees is being disbursed to you via this cashier's check. If you have questions about your refund, please call Santa Barbara Tax Products Group at [phone number removed].
First of all, I filed and received my 2020 tax returns last year. This should be for my 2021 federal tax returns, why does it say 2020? And when I got on the phone with them, I heard that my loan application is being sent to the IRS. I did not request a loan and I have not cashed this check out of fear of it being fraudulent or essentially acting as a loan.
