It’s false advertising stating free filing. I’ve used for years

What type of bill did you receive?

Was this for TurboTax or federal taxes owed or state taxes owed?

Did you use TurboTax for the 2023 tax return and did you request to have the TurboTax account fees paid from the Federal tax refund?

This is a TurboTax user community so we have no access to any user's account or billing information.

Please verify what product you ended up using.   If you used Online TurboTax, log in and go to the Tax Home.   In the top left corner, underneath the TurboTax logo does it say Free Edition, Deluxe, Premium, Live Basic, Live Deluxe, etc.?

 

Sometimes people upgrade to a higher edition because of certain items in their return, or accidentally end up in the Live product, which is more expensive since it provides a tax expert at will for help in preparing the return as well as a final review of the return by the expert.   Did you end up in a Live product?

 

And did you have both a Federal return and a state return?

 Sorry you're having trouble.  This is mainly a user community forum.  Instead of this old thread which is less likely to be seen by the bulk of the forum, start a new thread dedicated to your issue with "New York state" in the title, and hopefully, someone familiar with the NY state return will see it.  You can start a new thread under state topics by filling the form at this link:

https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/forums/postpage/board-id/204

 

In that form, describe your issue in full, such as what happens when you are trying to get the NY state program into your desktop software.  If you already have NJ as the state software included in your product, there is an extra $40 fee to add on the NY state program.

How do you change direct deposit information? I’ve followed every step given and there is just no option to edit it.

I have been assigned to work with Crystal C., Turbo Tax  Intuit. The latest I heard from her was when she told me that the return has been completed and is ready for the review.  She was also asking for my available time on March 27th.  I told her my available time.  However, she did not respond since then just wondering what happens.  I would like to complete it as soon as possible.

Hello, where can I say that I am not being claimed as a dependent? 

Expert Alumni

If you are using TurboTax Desktop, you will answer a question in TurboTax right after you enter your personal information that asks "Do Any of these Apply to YOURNAME?" One of these is "Another taxpayer can claim YOURANME on their tax return." Make sure that box is not checked.

 

If you are using TurboTax Online you can click on "About Me" and on the screen that asks "Let's check for some other situations" make sure the box "Another Taxpayer can claim me as a dependent on their tax return" is not checked.

 

Your TurboTax screens will look something like this:

 

In TurboTax Desktop:

I need to make a revision and I can’t figure out how to do it ? I slightly overstated my paid taxes and got a letter from its

If you got a letter from the IRS, any related revision to your return can be handled directly with them. Respond directly to the IRS at the address or phone number on the letter, as soon as possible. Please see the information in this help article about TurboTax Audit Support. It includes information about the typical letters that IRS sends.

 

If you signed up for TurboTax Audit Defense, you should have received information about TaxAudit.com and you should contact them first instead of handling it yourself, which could invalidate the terms of your membership.
