How can I get my money back from Turbotax, I paid $300+ for audit protection and live help. I wont be receiving my refund back since I amended it due to an error.

I don't think TurboTax will refund your money

because  you are upset with IRS processing chaos, or,

because you made an error and had to file an amendment.

This is mainly a user community forum.   I'm a fellow user--not a tax person--but you might get a comment from someone familiar with you being a military filer stationed in Virginia, but whose home state is California.

 

In any case, you can discuss your issues with the folks at TurboTax Support.  I'll give you various contact resources.

 

As part of your Live TurboTax product, did you have your returns reviewed by your live CPA/EA expert prior to filing?   Since you used Live TurboTax, also be aware of this statement from TurboTax concerning the Live product:

 

100% Accurate Expert Approved Guarantee

We want you to feel 100% confident when you file so we offer the following guarantee: if you pay an IRS or state penalty (or interest) because of an error that a TurboTax tax expert, CPA, or attorney made while providing topic-specific tax advice, a section review, or acting as a signed preparer for your return, we'll pay you the penalty and interest.

I'd speak to live help at the first link above first to try to figure out what all is going on with your situation.   You also mentioned "Audit Support."   If you have a situation that ended up being an audit issue that you need help resolving, see this:

If your only income was the military pay and you are a CA resident living in VA then you don't need to pay taxes to VA at all.  Depending on what VA is asserting will determine how you respond.  If you used one of the LIVE options you should be able to get help from them otherwise :
