Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Desktop software.  I did not choose Audit Defense. It was automatically added as a fee


The tax return is my mother’s. She passed away in 2025. Why would I choose Audit Defense for a simple return?  I spoke to several people at TurboTax and requested refund, to either the bank account noted on the return; or issue a check made out to my mother’s trust. They would not.  I asked if they would add the $45 back to the refund amount.  They refused. 

 

The only choice was to issue a check.  You cannot deposit a check to someone who is deceased.
