Delayed Tax Return?!

Why is my tax return so delayed? I filed back at the beginning of February. Now Turbo Tax is trying to charge me without me having received my Federal returns yet. This is unacceptable, why can't your company just WAIT and pull my fee out of my federal tax return?

Although most refunds are processed within 21 days of acceptance, some returns require additional review which causes a delay in processing. Please see Why do some refunds take longer than others? for more information. 

Since it has been over 21 days since your tax return has been accepted, please see What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days?  for information on contacting the IRS. 

 

Regarding your fees, you can be auto-debited if you signed up for Pay With My Refund and your refund is sufficient, but the IRS is still holding your refund 36 days after your original estimated refund date. Please see Why was my bank account auto-debited for TurboTax fees? for additional information.

Pffftttt if they do that to me, IT WILL BOUNCE. How about Turbo Tax make an exception right now considering the IRS is holding MANY peoples refunds and now has taken their fax  AND are not answering phone calls?
