Your tax return may have forms and/or schedules that are not yet available for filing.  Click on Review on the left side of the online program screen and there may be forms/schedules listed with availability dates.

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/

WARNING - Due to the past history of using the Refund Processing Service with hundreds of refunds being delayed for months by the third party processor, it is Highly Recommended that you do NOT use this service.
If you cannot pay the TurboTax fees with your own funds please see if you can get a relative or friend to pay the fees with their credit or debit card.
You can still use direct deposit of the refund to a bank account where you are the owner of the account.
