Applying for a refund due to an email mishap; paid to have my taxes prepped, but was using an incorrect email for it. Switched emails, paid the fee a second time, taxes are filed and sent, now seeking a refund for the incorrect email. Was advised to apply for a refund by a gentleman over the phone who directed me to a product request form. It asks me for an order number, which I have via receipt from the incorrect email. However, it tells me it is in the incorrect format, even when just copy/pasting the string of characters that has "Order Number" directly beside it. What could I possibly be doing wrong?

Hi!
I had the same issue with my TurboTax purchase. A software was suggested to me to be purchased however it was the incorrect one so I had to file a refund. I spoke with a representative and I was given the same link to refund it online but I kept getting the same message that my Order Number had the incorrect format and I was literally typing it how it was showed on my e-mail. What I had to do was call them instead. They had me verify my information and my purchase and I gave them my order number. I then received an email that I will receive my refund in 2-3 weeks. I hope you were also able to file a refund through them!

I'm one of the early filers where Turbo Tax didn't ask if I received a 1095-a form. (I understand new versions of TT have corrected this.) My refund, submitted 2/7/2020 needs more info, like a form 8962 (which didn't get generated 'cause TT didn't ASK). So my refund has been delayed six weeks, at least. I thought it fair to request a refund of the Federal portion of the software I purchased. I too found the online refund form. I too copied and pasted. No good. Copied and pasted as plain text. No good. Typed in all in by hand! Still got the "not the right format" error. Well what the heck IS the right format?

I called turbo tax as I was having issues in submitting my order #. I got it from my tax page as the order # was not in my confirmation email. She couldn’t find a solution so she’s trying to find someone who can help me. We were on the phone for over an hour. She was very nice and I felt bad as no one was answering her
