TPG DEPOSIT?

[TF24]

I received a TPG deposit but have not yet submitted my taxes (e-filed). How is this possible? 

I was using the TurboTax Live version, but have since deleted and started over using the free version as I qualify for that. Will this now pose an issue when I actually file my taxes? Not sure where this  TPG came from? I know there are several questions about it being posed on the forum. Any advice would be appreciated.

Did you file a 2021 tax return using TurboTax and requested to have the TurboTax account fees paid from the 2021 federal tax refund?

No.  Someone other than me filed my taxes last year and they used Turbo free version.

You would have never received any type of refund from TPG unless you or someone who filed your tax return requested to have the TurboTax account fees paid from the federal tax refund.

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/

But I would have also needed to submit a return no? I did NOT file my 2022 return. I completed it on TurboTax had not yet filed. So how can I get a TPG deposit if I hadn’t yet filed?

[DoninGA]

You will need to contact TPG to find why the refund was deposited into your account.  This would not be for a 2022 tax return or tax refund since the 2022 return has never been filed.

Thank you.
