Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The state pulled my taxes due payment out twice on the same day (May 17th) after I paid through TT. I contacted my state’s taxation & revenue. The person I spoke with looked up my account and said “Yes, I see we took it out twice.” She emailed me an application for refund for an overpayment form. I filled it out and mailed it the next day. She told me to call back if I haven’t received the money in 180 days. What the heck? The state can keep almost $500 of my money for 6 months? This seems wrong. If it was my mistake of overpaying, then it’s somewhat understandable (but still a long time to wait), but this was their mistake. They have my documents, so why such a long wait? Can anything be done on my end to expedite the process?
