Do any REAL PEOPLE work for Turbo Tax? I've called for customer service 28 times and the horrible automated system won't answer my questions. How can I get my money back?

I want a refund for the money I paid TurboTax to eFile my taxes because I can't get any help from them. Do I need to go to my bank and request a charge back?

Real people are here.  It does not seem that you sought help here in the user forum--there are only two posts under your username info79.  The other one was an "add-on" to an existing thread.  It seems you had trouble e-filing at the last minute and had to mail your return.  

 

That can happen.  There are some rejections that occur due to "un-fixable" reasons--like the duplicate use of a Social Security number.  When that happens, the only way to file the return is to print, sign and mail it.  Rejections come from the IRS--not TurboTax.

 

When you use TurboTax to prepare your tax return, the fee is for using the software to prepare the return.  There is not an extra fee for e-filing nor is there a guarantee that you will be able to e-file.  The fee is the same whether you e-file or mail the return in an envelope.

 

The only possible e-file fee you may have incurred would be a state e-file fee of $24.99 if you used desktop (CD/download) software.  With desktop software there is a fee to e-file the state return.  If you have a billing issue regarding that state e-file fee, you should contact customer support for help.  It should be easier to get through now that the filing deadline has passed.    Use the word "billing"  -- not "refund."
