Get your taxes done using TurboTax
I'm using turbotax online to prepare my tax return. When I reach the part where I have to choose how to receive my refund - it is not possible to split the federal refund in two: between direct deposit into bank account (Part I of form 8888) and receiving the rest by paper check (Part III of form 8888). Even when I fill 3 bank accounts plus 3 saving bonds purchases - it still doesn't show an option to receive the rest by a paper check: when clicking on Continue button, it shows "You have refund available. Please place the remaining refund into an account or savings bond." It's a bug, because the form 8888 in general gives options to split to up to 3 accounts, and up to 3 saving bonds, and the rest to receive by paper check. In a fewer words - it's not possible to fill part III of form 8888 (Complete this part if you want a portion of your refund to be sent to you as a check) using Turbotax online. Please let me know how to proceed... Thank you!
