Unauthorized charge

I was charged for turbotax online deluxe prep and state prep totaling $80. I put my credit card information in but have not filed or agreed to any charges. I have not decided if I want to pay now or have it come out of my refund. I read that you won't get charged until you file or wish to print your information. Neither of which I have done yet. I would like to fix this.

I spoke with someone yesterday over the phone and they said I will receive a refund for unauthorized charges to my account-  $140 ;which I did not file my taxes with TurboTax-

WHERE IS MY REFUND PLEASE for these charges and inconvenience of matter is astonishing to believe!! I did not expect Turbo Tax to become like this- I was using this service for a whole, but I am highly upset for this-

i am not trying to save money or even know what types of ways to pay-

So please return my money!!

@Lisa2121  Or you bought the CD/Download Desktop program but used the Online version instead.  

 

I see people all the time that have bought the CD/Download Desktop Software but then somehow ending up using the Online version and didn't know it. If that happened to you, you can move your Online file to the Desktop program and continue without paying for Online or needing to reenter your info.


Sorry you can't apply the Desktop CD/Download program and License Code to the Online version. They are separate prices and work different.

I was charged 80.00 twice, 160.00 to my credit card for services I did not use.

 I never filed a tax return with Intuit turbo tax and do not plan to do so.

How can you charge a customer and the tax return never be filed???

@1arvizu2 The fee within Turbo Tax is not the fee for filing the return, it is the fee for the use of the Turbo Tax software to prepare the return. 

 

You can view the details as to what the fee was for here

I am getting ready to file/submit my tax returns but I am seeing a TurboTax fee for $150 that I did not authorize. Or at least I did not mean to what do I do to correct this before I submit the return?

You, Turbotax, has billed my discover credit card for $83.26 I just learned.  I didn't not authorize that amount of billing from you, Turbotax, when I did my taxes online with you folks on February 19, 2022.  The amount for which I did authorized to be billed was about half that amount.  It was the amount required to upgrade my Turbox Tax service from you up from the free service, a service that was reportedly needed to handle my tax situation and nothing else.  Please tell me how you will refund me the over-charged amount?  If I don't hear back from you within about 4 days, I will ask Discover to withhold the entire payment until I hear from you regarding this needed partial refund, the needed correction concerning this matter.  Thank you.    Mark

@tubotax2018shrugged0214   You probably had to upgrade to Deluxe.  Only federal was 39.99.  Then state was a separate charge for another 39.99.  Did you do a state return?  Plus sales tax.

In 2020 I discontinued using turbotax.  On 11/02/21 my credit card was charged $129.96 for turbotax program.  I do not use turbotax.  I have a CPA doing my taxes.  Please credit my credit card $129.96.  Thank you.
