Get your taxes done using TurboTax

There is a step between when TT says your file was accepted and it posts to your IRS account.  My 2019 federal 1040 was never posted at the IRS, even though TT says it was accepted.  After several attempts, TT provided me with a 'submission ID.'   In the meantime, TT knew the taxes had not been accepted, because they did not get their fee from my refund.   Instead of checking on the filing, Intuit just charged my credit card for their share.   I asked for a refund, but I didn't get that either. It works great until it doesn't...

 

Somewhere, there is a purgatory with my 1040, and my refund, just sitting there.  Today I am working on a form 14157-A Tax Preparer Fraud or Misconduct Affidavit, just in case Intuit stole my refund.  While I finish it, I will be waiting on hold with the IRS for a live person.  There is nowhere on the website to follow up on a failed e-filing. Hopefully the IRS will fix that.  I'm sure that I'm not the only one!
