I'm lucky that my refund amount is correct...refund -minus cost of TurboTax product that I used -minus fee for the product cost to be deducted from my refund-minus the fee to process the payment via the tax refund. That's all good, and what I agreed to. However, I don't recall ever authorizing TPG products or any third party to have any of my information, ie Banking routing and account numbers !! / social security number/tax information/etc. Also, I don't know if the IRS sent the refund to TPG and then TPG deposited it in my account, or if this is an advance and is subject to change if IRS finds an error on my tax forms. I'm afraid to spend it , and don't know how to find out when it's 'final' since, apparently I won't get a check/info from the ACTUAL IRS. IF I use Turbotax again, I WILL NOT select to pay them from the refund!! I'm not one bit happy with the way this was handled, I read everything carefullly and did not agree to anyone but the IRS issuing the refund to me,and the payments to Turbotax.
