turbotax deluxe 2024 desktop for mac

there is no “messages” in the top right corner or anywhere else on the application.

When I log in to the intuit website (as directed by email), there is no “messages” anywhere on that page.

I went through the whole left side menu from “overview to documents” - there is no “messages” there either.

I don’t need assistance clearing cache or cookies.

What I need is for the Live Tax Advice agent to actually call back as per the pop up message delivered after I clicked on, “connect with an expert” on the “review” page of the turbotax deluxe desktop for mac application.

This would be appreciated since the withdrawal of the fee was almost instantaneous.

your turn.

Here is the nice blue button that tells me when to expect a call back the never happens.

I do not know the experts name - no one has called me yet!

I keep using the "connect with an expert" button (daily) in the desktop version. All that happens is a popup opens to tell me a time to expect a call back that never comes. I know my phone works I have had other calls. 

I even tried the general  help number [phone number removed]). I was told a time to expect a call back - again, never happened. I am sure everyone there is busy this time of year. But a system in place that keeps promising a call back - but does not or can not provide a reasonable time frame to reschedule is not of much help.

10 days and counting.........

I asked the same question and Victoria posted the EXACT same answer about the tab. She hasn’t responded back to me. I use the Mac desktop version. 

My expert sent a message and I can’t find or access it either.  

[ranamaska]

I don't think AI knows how to give all the correct answers yet........

good luck!

[ranamaska]
