After you file

Thank you, this is what I thought but I wasn't sure and couldn't find anything on the website to confirm this. So it almost seems smarter to use your refund to pay the bill, even though it cost extra, that way you are getting your money from SBTPG and not the actual IRS since there is a chance that they might be shut down here anytime and be issuing refunds. What I was wondering is why does Turbo Tax say that the IRS doesn't start accepting refunds until Jan 29th when the IRS website says that they start accepting refunds Jan 23rd??
