I owed $92 in taxes this year, TurboTax took the $92 from my bank account and the same day the IRS also took out the $92? Anyone else have this problem and how to fix?

I have never owed taxes previously, and nothing has changed for the past few years. I'm not sure why I gave TurboTax the money and now the IRS is also taking it? I'm confused...

If TurboTax took money, it would have been the TurboTax fees for filing.  If you used Deluxe or higher, it is not free.

 

TurboTax only transmits your information to the IRS for them to take their payments out.  So, they would have taken your tax payment out.  This would not be the same payment twice.

I can see the breakdown and that's obviously not what happened. They took the money to "pay" the IRS and then the IRS took it from my account as well. I've used TurboTax for years because I like having all my info in one place and I don't think I'll ever use them again because of this.

TurboTax does not have the authority to pay the IRS on your account.

On your bank statement what is the exact name of the Payee for each one of the payments?

The Payee name for the IRS should be similar to IRS USATAXPYMT

So you have 2 payments in your bank account?  For the same amount?  What is the description on each one?

How did you select to pay the tax due?  Did you pick to have the IRS pull it out of your account?  But maybe also pay it directly at the IRS Online?  Call the IRS and see if they got 2 payments.  Was the tax due $97 or could that be the Turbo Tax fees?  Double Check your 1040 line 37 for tax due.
