The IRS finally released my 2019 return back in May. TurboTax has not deposited the money into my account two months later. Has this happened to anyone else?
TT never handles your refund at any time and when did you file the 2019 return and how did you file it ?
If you mailed in the 2019 return after 10/15/2020 then the IRS will either mail you a check to the address on the return or direct deposit it to the account listed on the 1040 page 2. The third party bank would not be involved since you didn't efile the return.
I did EFile with TT. It would go to them first as they usually deduct their fees if that’s the option I had chosen. The IRS has my account info, but the refund was released in May and I have not received it. TT is the middle man here.
NO TT is not the middle man ... if you used the refund processing service then the third party bank is who you need to contact ... again TT never touches your refund as it is against the law.
