I typically e-file. This year after I had paid my e-file fee for state, I got an error message saying I couldn’t e-file any of my returns due to the way one of my W-2’s was written. The W-2 was correct, so I had to mail in the taxes for Federal and State. How do I get the e-file fee refunded since it wasn’t used?
I continue to get a message in TurboTax that I paid to e-file but have not finished e-filing yet.
It seems like the fee should stay pending until the file is actually submitted via e-file or these checks should be done prior to the payment step. Is there a way to get this e-file fee refunded?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
If you used online TurboTax your fee is the same whether you e-file or mail it in an envelope. You are not charged an extra fee to e-file. The fee is for using the software to prepare your returns, and there is no refund for having to mail it instead of e-filing.
If you used the CD/download and the fee you are referring to is the $25 state e-file fee, then you can ask for a refund for the $25.
No one in the user forum can resolve a billing issue. If you have a question about your TurboTax fees or billing, make sure you use the word “billing” in your request for help. Do not use the word “refund.”
