I am feeling the same way. Friends I know with way more complex returns have already received their actual refunds.
I learned from a friend this year that you can file your taxes directly through the IRS website, which he did this year, and he avoided the 150$ that turbo tax wanted to charge for a complex return as well (he didnt even have kids, he just made contributions to a 401k and somehow that made his return a complex one that was unable to use the free version of turbo tax).
He is one of the friends that filed the same time as me, on 1.28.25, and he has already received his refunds, with no fee taken out at all. I'm going to be doing this from here on out. Turbotax is as good as a scam.
