Payment for Completed Taxes was overcharged

My taxes have been filed and accepted. My refund was deposited from the federal and state. However I was overcharged for completed taxes.

What does overcharged mean?  What charges are you referring to?

Federal and state refunds come separately from different places at different times.  Did you get both deposits?   Were you having the fees deducted from your federal refund?  How much is missing?  There is an extra 39.99 Refund Processing Service charge (44.99 in California) to have the fees deducted.

My husband and I had our refund deposited into my bank account. $911.52 was deposited from Federal and $761 from State. We need to know where the extra charges came from. A total charge of $254.48 was for federal and state. I saw where $120 was my fee.

All of the fees were charged to my federal refund.

 The TT2019 software clearly said I would be charged $19.99  + tax  ( taxes were stated a $0) to e-file my state tax return using my credit card. I was billed $24.99 . At that point, I threw up my hands and e-filed anyway.  I have used TT annually since 1988, I had to by a Windows 10 upgrade also.

Sorry the early discounted prices expired on Feb 29, 2020.  March 1, 2020 there was a price increase.  The CD box says prices are subject to change.  The prices always change around March 1.  So I try to file before then.  

 

It also says on the back of my CD case in the comparison chart....

1 state product via download (print free  or efile for $19.99 each) prices subject to change without notice.

Wow! Fooled me.  Yup . I found it on the back of the CD cover.   Too bad it wasn't fixed in the software  update package. It won't happen ever again.

What wasn't in the update?  When did you efile?  There is a delay in Desktop program between March 1 when the price goes up and the next time the program update comes out, usually on Thursdays.  It will show the 19.99 price but you be charged 24.99.

I was also overcharged.  The costs were $60 for the Federal and $50 for State filings, totaling $110.00.  There was an $8.80 sales tax added, bringing the total to $118.80.  But for some reason there is another charge of $111.30 on my card, for a total of $228.80.  I have absolutely NO references via email from Intuit, for this $111.30 charge and want a refund.  Then, when you call, whether you are using a ID or not, you cannot connect to anyone.  This is very POOR customer service with nothing on my account page referencing both charges.  I'm feeling scammed and needing to report Intuit to the BBB.org and to my State's Consumer Protection Agency.

 

I want the $111.30 refunded to my account, which is currently showing as pending, but I still cannot access it.

 

Can anyone please confirm how I can get this resolved?

 

Thank you

I purchased Turbo Tax deluxe.  Turbo tax charged by $80.00 + tax to file both returns,.

I should have not been charged for the federal return filed.  How do I get a credit to my debit card.

Assuming that you are using the TurboTax online editions -

There are no e-file charges when using the TurboTax online editions, federal or state.  The TurboTax account fees are for the use of the software to assist in completing a tax return.  The account fees are the same whether a tax return is e-filed or printed for mailing.

The TurboTax Deluxe online edition is $40.  The state program when used with the Deluxe online edition or higher is an additional charge of $40.

@dgates   Or did you buy the Desktop CD/Download program?  Online and Desktop are priced differently and you can't apply a Desktop purchase to the online version.

I was double-charged.  I had used the free tax file and was charged to file my state taxes and my federal was free. I also noticed that I was charged on Paypal for the assisted tax preparation. the charge was around $200.

@Barmaid12171

Did you choose to have TT fees deducted from your Federal refund?  (Remember that if you did that, you also agreed to an extra refund processing fee of $39.99)

How can I see my TurboTax  fees?
