I think you have the right Ideas never trust TurboTax to any difficult tax issues it better off if you just pay for tax services H@R Block offers services and if they make a mistake they fix for free and charge you nothing I don't know what happened to TurboTax last year I didn't get no federal refund back and this year some third party bank SBTPG for some reason is handling the refund. It appears that if you pay for TurboTax services by deduction from your return TurboTax sends it to SBTPG they take the money out of your refund and pay TurboTax. Once this transfer is done SBTPG is in charge of your money at this point you are at the mercy of SBTPG. They are associated with Green Dot card Banking, they send you a cashier's check with your refund. However good luck getting the Cashier's Check and when you get it they take out their cut or refund. You will have a hell of a hard time cashing the check and SBTPG is notorious for sending you a none verification check. This means when a check cashing place trying to cash it runs it through their system it automatically cancels out your cashier check. Basically if the check cashing place doesn't call the number on the check to verify it. It won't work, but the line is always busy check cashing place doesn't have time to keep calling the number for verification. Basically your screwed, by the time you can cash the check you may have to get a reissue check more charges. Sorry TurboTax I won't be dealing with you anymore after this nightmare
