They overcharged me by a few hundred! Were you able to contact turbo tax on the phone? Everytime it's a 45 minute wait!

Verify what the charges were in your TurboTax account.  Sign in to your account and click "Tax Tools" and then "Tools" in the left hand menu.  You will see a box in the center screen, "My Fees"; click there to see a breakdown.  Remember if you selected to have your fees deducted from your refund there is $39.99 charge for that service.  Once you see the breakdown and it appears to be an wrong charge you should contact customer support for resolution.

I was charged $220... I was on hold for 5 hours yesterday and turbotax support never answered. I'm on hold again today! I should have been charged 135 at most. I want a refund! I already owe federal and state a combined $1200 dollars and I can't afford to pay $220 to turbotax. I didn't sign up for self-employed or turbotax pro or anything like that and somehow I was charged $120 dollars instead of the $34.99 plus the 50 for the two states I worked. It would be great to get some help with this?

Over charged $288 and credit my account only $80 never requested any additional service only basic .

First customer service said once you paid by credit card it’s nothing we can do. The 2nd customer service he said oh no they charged you twice but I will credit you account $80.

My questions is how much $288.53 divided by 2? It’s $80 or $144?

either way I will  stop until a get full refund by legal way

I was overcharged as well, I was only expecting to pay $152-$170, I chose the self employed federal return for $84.99 , self employed state return for $36.99 and the audit defense bundle for $30.00. I ended paying turbo tax state online state CA tax year 2020 $50, turbo tax self employed tax year 2020 $170, and turbo tax live max with refund process svc tax year 2020 $60. I ended up paying $280, my return ended up being only $539. So after getting docked for services I never requested or for prices I never initially agreed upon, I got a DD of only $259. I've never had this problem with TurboTax before, and the one time I do came at the worst possible time. I'm not sure how such a big mix up can happen when it comes to this, but I'm hoping I can get it corrected tomorrow or this will be the last time I use turbo tax and will be sure to warn those I know that also use their services, so that they can avoid this inconvenience in years to come.

We received $219 less than our stated refund.  Please correct the issue.

In this public forum, we cannot diagnose why your refund has been reduced.  For additional information, please see this Help Article or this TurboTax blog post.

I had something similar. I had to upgrade to file the single 1099 I received. And was charged $59 twice, for two different states, even though the change was only for one state.

I was charged $183, and chose to have the fees deducted from my refund amount. I did not receive my refund amount and the $183 was deducted from my bank account anyway. I paid a total of $366. What happened to my refund? What is going on with Turbotax? I plan to file a complaint against them. Some fraudulent activities.

TURBOTAX TOOK MONEY OUT OF MY  ACCOUNT

Did you choose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund?  Is your refund taking an unusually long time to arrive?  Or was your refund seized to pay a debt you owed? if so, you signed an agreement that says TT can withdraw its fees from your account.  TurboTax would have sent several emails to you before they took the money out of your account.

https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1901364-why-was-my-bank-account-auto-debited-for-turbotax-fees

 

 

Your tax refund was not sent to TurboTax.   TurboTax does not handle your refund at all.

Santa Barbara Tax Products Group, LLC  (SBTPG) is the bank that handles the Refund Processing Service when you choose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your refund. This option also has an additional charge from the bank that processes the transaction. 

You can contact them SBTPG, toll-free, at 1-877-908-7228 or go to their secure website www.sbtpg.com

@Ler74tay Have that discussion with customer support.

 

No one in the user forum can resolve a billing issue.  If you have a question about your TurboTax fees or billing, make sure you use the word “billing” in your request for help.  Do not use the word “refund.”

If you were charged and paid for the TurboTax account fees twice then you need to contact TurboTax support.  Use the key words Billing Issue -

See this TurboTax support FAQ for contacting support - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/what-is-the-turbotax-phone-number/00/25632

@Ler74tay   When did you file?  Maybe the IRS has not sent your refund yet.  They are taking a lot longer this year.   If the IRS is taking too long to send your refund you still have to pay the fees in time.

 

See What if the IRS reduces your refund or delays it.

https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/payments/help/what-if-my-federal-refund-isn-t-enough-to-cover-my-turbotax-fees/00/26313

 

Then when the IRS does send your refund they won't take the fees out again.  So you only pay once.

I was overcharged as I am a student at the University of Phoenix in AZ. We get discounted for @$20 and pay no more than $39 for fees. I want my reimbursement. My account is [email address removed] I was charged $59 a piece and something of $117.00 that's crazy. I filed on 01/24/23 for my Federal. Pending on my State.

@srmlpn You may have misunderstood what you were choosing.  The state return is an additional $39.  If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that is an extra "refund processing fee" of $39.  And as for the discount...you had to enter by way of the link that offered the discount.  Did you do that?
