If You filed your taxes with H&R Block or TurboTax and got a tax refund advance or paid your filing fee through your refund
Up to 21 million people who used TurboTax, H&R Block, and Jackson Hewitt to electronically file a tax return are experiencing delays in receiving their stimulus payment, The Washington Post reported on Thursday.
The delays aren't the fault of the tax preparer, but rather a result of the method of payment used. It's affecting filers who got an advance on their tax refund or had their tax prep fee deducted from their refund, consumer law expert Vijay Raghavan told The Post.
Raghavan said that tax prep companies received customers' refunds, deducted the cost of filing their taxes, and then sent out what remained to the customers so the IRS never got their direct-deposit information.
