I have received a very very incorrect refund from TPG? What is this all about? Why am I being charged fees outside of the agreed upon fees made while filing!?

My state and federal direct deposit refunds by TPG are GROSSLY below the refunds shown on my tax return.  I don't know what to do. The errors are HUGE!! What am I supposed to do? The refunds provided by TPG are not even remotely correct. Where's my money? Fix this mess now. When can I expect the correct amounts to be posted? I have important family business pending on these refunds. 

I am EXTREMELY disappointed in TurboTax for causing these errors. I've been a faithful customer for many years - nothing like this has ever happened to me before.

@sbucy1 Your state tax refund was never processed by TPG.  You received the state tax refund from your state.  If the amount is less than what was entered on your state tax return your state will be sending you a notice in the mail explaining their changes which reduced your state tax refund.

 

Only the federal tax refund can be processed by TPG because that is what you selected when you requested to have the TurboTax account fees paid from the federal tax refund.

 

Is the amount sent/issued by the IRS the same as the refund amount shown on your federal tax return Form 1040 Line 35a? - https://www.irs.gov/refunds


If not, then go to this IRS website for information on reduced refunds - https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc203


Have you factored in the TurboTax account fees and the TPG service charge of $39 plus any applicable sales tax?

Sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/
Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on View Order Details


If you requested to have the TurboTax account fees deducted from your federal tax refund, the IRS will send the refund to a third party processor to have the fees and the service charge deducted. The third party processor will deduct the TurboTax fees plus the service charge and then attempt to direct deposit the remaining refund balance into the account that you entered on your tax return.


For the status of your tax refund you will need to contact the third party processor, Santa Barbara Tax Product Group, using their website - https://www.sbtpg.com/
