Charged For 2023 Federal and State Tax returns Online Premium Version even though I did not file

I was charged approximately $300. I started my 2023 tax returns but I did not file nor finish. There is not

even a copy of the 2023 tax returns located anywhere in my turbotax account. This is totally

fraudulent. I am considering taking legal action against Turbotax.  Screenshot 2024-11-20 at 9.54.57 PM.png

As long as you did NOT use another account for file 2023:

 

1) It's possible it is not there....because the 2023 files are still being archived and are transitioning between the main display page, and the past years page. This always happens for ~ 4-6 weeks after the end of October, and the start of the new tax year software. Once 2024 Online software starts, your 2023 file should show up in the area you posted.

 

2) If you ever tray to print out your file, during the regular tax year, even if not completed...then you have to pay right then. Why? To prevent people from print-filing without paying for the use of the software.

 

3) Preparation and filing of 2023 "Online" software, is permanently shut down as of the end of October. Once your 2023 file appears again (sometime this month...December) the only way to finish it now would be to use the desktop/download software on a full Windows 10/11 Computer or full MAC computer. Customer Support "Might" push a download copy to you to finish it, but you'll have to print it out and file by mail as e-filing is shut down for 2023 and earlier years.

 You will be able to access the 2023 return you started by using the exact same account and user ID that you used when you started it.   But you can no longer use online software for any further changes.

Online tax preparation and e-filing for 2023 returns is now permanently closed.

  

Now it is too late to use online software or to e-file. If you have any changes/corrections at all to make to your 2023 return, you now have to complete it using desktop software, which you must download to a full PC or Mac  (not to a mobile device).Then you need to print, sign and mail it.

If you already paid for your online software you can ask customer support for a download of the desktop software.

 

They are available from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific time Mon-Fri

If you are getting a refund, there is no penalty for filing late.  If you owe tax due, then file and pay the amount due as shown on the Form 1040, but expect a bill later from the IRS for the penalty and interest you will owe.  Only the IRS will calculate this—TurboTax will not calculate it.

 

 

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

 

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
