  Hello everyone,    As we move into the holiday season, and our busiest time of year, we are excited to share some exciting changes to our Communities. Based on conversations with customers and invaluable feedback from our members, we at Intuit are making strides to formally recognize and promote our top Community members. After months of research and preparation, we are excited to announce the launch of the Intuit Community Champions program. This program will unite our top contributors from QuickBooks, ProConnect, TurboTax, and Communities in a way we have never done previously.    We’d love to share with you how the program works, and welcome questions you may have. We hope you are as excited as we are!   When will the Community Champions program start?  We will be opening our application forms in early December 2019, and welcoming our first class of Champions to join with their new privileges in early 2020.    What are the benefit

  What are Community Ranks and Levels?   In the TurboTax + Mint Community, we use a tiered ranking system to recognize and reward members who actively participate, as well as help users quickly evaluate the status of another user and the potential quality of their contributions. Your rank is seen right next to your profile name on your posts.   Ranks represent the contribution that a member has made to the community, so you can learn a lot about a member by checking out their rank.  The higher the rank, generally the more helpful and active one has been in the Community.   Some ranks will also open up additional Community permissions such as the ability to add videos and signatures, as well as upload attachments to your posts.   How can I increase my Rank/Level?   As you spend more time on the Forum, engage in positive conversations, and help other members, you will move up in rank.  While we can’t give away the exact formulas, members move up r

The average direct deposit tax refund was close to $3,000 last tax season, and with tax season well underway, it’s no surprise that the most common tax season-related question we’re now hearing is: “Where’s my refund?” We know that you work hard for your money and that your tax refund may be the biggest check you get all year, so we’re here to let you know what happened after you hit the e-file button and how to check the status of your tax refund. The IRS issues all tax refunds — TurboTax does not issue the actual refund. If you have an IRS acknowledgment, then they are processing your tax return. Here is a breakdown of IRS processing times, how your tax return will progress through the three stages with the IRS; (“Return Received,” “Return Approved,” and “Refund Sent” once you e-file), and where you can go to check your refund status. Refund Processing Time E-filed tax returns with direct deposit: E-file with direct deposit is the fastest way to get your federal tax refund

    At Intuit, we are looking to bolster the quality and the value of our communities through recognizing our most impactful contributors - our Champions. A Champion is an advocate who is passionate about sharing their expertise and knowledge in order to help other community members' prosper.   Does this sound like you or someone you know?   We are excited to share a new opportunity that is LIVE across all of our Intuit Communities (Turbo Real Money Talk, QuickBooks, and ProConnect). This program invites individuals across our Intuit ecosystem to be unified and recognized as Intuit Community Champions.   Nominate yourself or someone you know today!   To submit an application, you will need to describe your nominee's current involvement in the Community, and why they would be a good fit for the Champions program.   Interested in learning more about the values and expectations of a Community Champion?   We look forward to receiving your nomination
