Firstly...
Dear TurboTax, screw you for this scammy type behavior. This is ridiculous! This was not made clear and has cost me hours of my valuable time. I will not reuse this service, which I've faithfully used since 2019, again.
Dear Reader,
I wanted to contribute to this post because it was extremely helpful, and I wanted to share what I learned. Everything listed by OP is true. If you are reading this, somewhere in your return you unknowingly clicked the wrong thing.
Here's what I did:
- Check your email for an email from CreditKarma.
- Copy the email address that they sent the email to, regarding your return.
- Go to CreditKarma.com, use the email address from the email to login. (It may prompt you to "create an account" however when you enter your email address it should say there's already an account linked to that address - simply follow through.)
- You should see your return there and you can transfer funds directly from that account.
- You are given the option to transfer funds immediately (for a fee), or you can transfer the funds for free in 2-3 days.
* I would encourage you not to pay them a cent to transfer the money "instantly," as this is rewarding their scummy behavior.
