I was back and forth with it from the 16h up until yesterday. Went to HnR block and they wanted to charge me 400 to do something I have been doing myself for the past 6 years.
Today was he 26th I opened a new account with TurboTax and was given the advance option. Only thing, highly advise putting in a different phone number or it will get flagged for fraud (happened to me unfortunately) BUT I just have to wait for my identity to be reviewed in 48-72 hours..:It sucks I have to wait but it’s better than paying out more money than I have to. Doing my taxes this time today was a lot smoother than 2 weeks ago. Before I was getting pop ups to constantly upgrade to Max like 6-7 times and it made me pay the fees upfront without any other option and NO option for the advance.
The process today was much smoother, 2x was asked if I wanted to upgrade, able to have option to pay fees with refund and I got the advance…I was going to use my daughters phone number but I didn’t want to change too much…Should have rethought that because I wouldn’t be waiting and would probably have my advance….lol
if you make a new turbo account, make sure that your email and phone number are different than your original account…
Taxes are always a headache but hopefully this helps…Thank you to everyone that messaged back and also the girl that commented about making a new account…You are the real MVP…
Stay safe and stay sane everyone. Sending love; light and positivity to you all!!
