I got a deposit from TBG, I’ve filed with TurboTax before and I’ve never seen this name come across with my previous despójate. It’s also less than what TurboTax “estimated” for me. What is going on??

Did you request to have the tax prep fees paid from refund? TBG handles that and takes the fee and sends your balance where you wanted it sent. You can contact the IRS or wait for a letter in mail from IRS explaining why the refund is different than you expected.

They took $1368 from me. There is no way my turbo tax fees were that much

You should receive a letter from the IRS telling you why your refund amount was changed.  The most common reasons so far this season are: A couple other reasons include

  1. You owed back taxes, child support, student loans or something else that caused your refund to be Offset to pay some of the past due debt. You should have received a letter if this was the case.
  2. Something was not reported correctly on your return and the IRS recalculated your return causing you not to have a refund. This could include things such as missing income or inaccurately reported income (ex. you entered $5,500 for your W2 box 1 instead of $15,500)

 

You should look for a letter from the IRS and if you do not have one or do not receive one, you would need to call the IRS at 800-829-1040 as no one else would have the answer as to why your refund was reduced.

In this public forum, we do not have access to any information regarding refund processing. It would be necessary to contact TPG for additional information. You can also check out this TPG Help Article to check on your refund.

@MoniqueLO_ I’m confused how they can take this money without our consent? I agreed to the amount of $105 dollars for TURBOTAX to do my taxes not TBG to take a additional $400 for absolutely no reason. If TurboTax doesn’t resolve this I and I’m sure many others won’t ever use TurboTax again.

They stole $1300 from me. Im trying to figure out why. I've used turbo tax my whole life. Ill never in my life use it again after this. Id like to sue if they don't give it back. Maybe a class action law suit. Id never in my life authorize them to take an additional $1300

They just took almost 2000 of mine... I hope they are ready for a lawsuit along with turbotax

I have the same question as everyone else who is TBG products and why was I not informed of additional fees. The amount I pay turbo tax intuit and now another vendor. I promise I am going back to using my CPA. I am being charged more by intuit and there vendors. Going back to old fashion way. Advising my entire family to do the same. Everyone just does whatever these days and gets away with it. Very disgruntled intuit.

$5,000 stolen from this company!? I did NOT make a mistake. I'm getting a hold of my local media to look into this. Stealing from middle and lower class tax payers will not fly. Here comes the media! This is a total scam.

I as many of us have noticed, also have had almost 700 extra dollars taken from me by this horrible company. No letter from the irs, submitted a complaint with both TurboTax and this tpg products garbage company as well, no mistakes on my return, its the same thing ive done for years now, haven't heard from anyone and very disappointed. Will never use TurboTax again and will be joining every personal and class action claim I can find against them both. You guys are going to lose a LOT of business over this trash. And were complaining to TurboTax because even though they don't get the taxes, we only agreed to do business with them NOT tpg. No disclaimer telling us about it, no information on how we're going to be paying a 3rd party company we didn't even know about. This is on YOU.  Make it right turbotax. Were waiting.

State refunds are paid separately from the Feds. How much is the state refund? Has it arrived?
