Tpg products

Filed my tax returns through TurboTax thinking it was a reputable source. My returns were about $500 short from something called tpg products, which I have never heard of. Contacted tax offset office to report fraud. Joining class action lawsuit. Please fix!

If you used that payment method to pay TurboTax fees with your refund, the IRS first sends the Federal refund to an intermediary bank where the fees are subtracted.  

  • Then that bank sends the rest of your funds to your bank account (or card) in a second direct deposit.  
  • SBTPG (aka TPG) is the company that administers that process.  
  • There is a 39.99 service fee when using that payment method (44.99 for California filers.)
