I need to talk to an actual person. This years Turbo tax is not very user friendly and not helpful. Should I get refund of Turbo tax?
Very disappointing. I have used Turbo Tax for years. This is not the way to keep customers.

While TurboTax Home and Business was updated to correct the issue in January, neither Home and Business nor Quick Employer Forms support W-2 corrections.    The QEF FAQ recommends using SSA Business Services Online (SSA-BSO) for corrections. As a paper filer you cannot submit these forms to the agency electronically. Instead, you may use SSA-BSO to fill in the forms W-2c and W-3c, then print and mail them to employees and the agency. Confirm this treatment with SSA-BSO customer service before creating an account. Relevant guidance from the IRS and SSA for filing your Forms W-2c and W-3c: From the IRS instructions for Forms W-2 and W-3, the rules for paper filers: "If the original Form W-2 was permitted to be filed on paper and you filed on paper, then you must file on paper any Form W-2c correcting that form." From SSA - Helpful Hints to Forms W-2c/W-3c Filing: File Forms W-2c (Corrected Wage and Tax Statement) and W-3c (Transmittal of Corrected Wage and Tax Statement) as soon as possible after you discover an error. Also, provide a Form W-2c to the employee as soon as possible.          To correct a Form W-2 you have already submitted, file a Form W-2c with a separate Form W-3c for each year needing correction. File a Form W-3c whenever you file a Form W-2c, even if you are only filing a Form W-2c to correct an employee's name or Social Security number (SSN).             Follow the General Instructions for Forms W-2c/W-3c

Did you choose to pay your TurboTax fees by having them deducted from your federal refund instead of paying upfront using a credit or debit card before you e-filed?   That means your fees and a $40 "refund processing fee" are subtracted from the refund before it is sent to you.   First you need to check the IRS refund site to see if your refund was issued, and look to see how much they issued.   https://www.irs.gov/refunds   How can I see my TurboTax  fees?    https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-account-billing/review-fees-turbotax-online/L1XnIzgzg_US_en_US?uid=m682vq7k   What is Refund Processing Service?
