If you didn't choose Pay with my refund, the check will go from the IRS to your account.   If you did choose Pay With My Refund, your tax return check will go to an independent bank.  The TurboTax fees plus a bank processing fee will be taken out, and the balance will go to your bank.

We can't see your return, but we can suggest troubleshooting techniques.   If this was on your current return and your AGI jumped >$26,000. Check the last thing you posted. Be sure you didn't post a decimal place wrong  View the tax summary to see if anything looks strange.

I saw this on a different thread.  “If you itemized your deductions, the excess property taxes would be the taxes not allowable for itemized deductions because of limits applied on the deduction of state taxes. On Form 8829, your property taxes are entered on line 17 only if you take the standard deduction. If you itemize your deductions, the property taxes will show on line 11 for the amount allowable for itemized deductions and the excess on line 17. Either way, all of your property taxes are listed on Form 8829 to be allocated to your home office based on the size of the office to the size of the whole house.” 

My check was a bad check. I deposited it into my account, and the bank called to tell me it wouldn't go through and was sent back to them. I called TurboTax, and they're giving me the run around, but they did confirm that the check number wasn't the same as what they have. However, when I tried talking to Cross River Bank, they told me I have the wrong department and transferred me back to TurboTax.

The best way to fix this signature mismatch is to go back to your Personal Information section of TurboTax and re-enter your name. It should be entered exactly how it appears on your Social Security card to avoid any more future delays.
