While trying to complete my IRS filing on 4/30/25, I was mired in confusing directions in the turbotax/intuit system. Repetitive suggestions to upgrade, when my simple return didn't seem to require such an act, were distracting, frustrating and confusing. Apparently, I pushed the wrong button, out of confusion or frustration, and ended up being charged ****** for the premier service. I didn't require nor use access to an online expert, but my filing seemed to go much smoother once I had pushed the magic buttons. An attempt to resolve this after the fact proved more frustrating and led to more lost hours of my life. I don't recall ever encountering this in the previous years I have used turbotax. I am sure there is some clever genius behind the "designed to frustrate " algorithm , but I feel the entire nation is being brought down by these clever geniuses.Business Response

I am rejecting this response.
Intuits message did not address the substance of my complaint that TurboTax failed to include a required state form (Colorado ** 0104CR Part II), resulting in double taxation on over $30,000 of income and an eventual overpayment of $1,252, which I was forced to recover through an amended return filed manually with the State of Colorado.
I already contacted TurboTax support. They were not able to assist and pointed me in circles without any accountability for the issue. This is why I escalated to the BBB and filed formal complaints with the FTC and the California Attorney General. The issue is not a generic support case it is a case of software failure and financial harm.
I am seeking a full refund of the $248.40 I paid for a tax service that did not properly fulfill its responsibility for multistate filings. Directing me back to product support is not an appropriate or sufficient response.
I remain open to working toward a fair resolution, but this reply does not demonstrate good faith effort.

My client paid me for an invoice on May 9th via Quickbooks Online Merchant. I received an email stating they were holding my funds and needed more information. I logged in and gave them the 6 bank statements and the invoice they requested. I waited a few more days and still did not have my money. After about a week, I received another email stating I needed to submit more information. However, the emailed lacked what information was needed. I called the company to get it resolved. They said I needed to upload my clients billing address. I did that immediately and was told I would receive my funds by May 19th. On May 20th, I called again to inform them that I still have not received my funds and was assured it would be handled quickly. On May 21st, I initiated a chat through the website. Again I was assured they have escalated my case. It is now May 22nd and I still do not have my funds. I have asked multiple times why they are holding my money and they cannot tell me a reason. They have kept money from my business for 14 days and from what I can gather it is for no reason. I have been told I gave them everything they needed to move forward. I was also told that holding my money for this long is not normal and not ok.Business Response

To Whom It May Concern,
Thank you for the opportunity to respond. Our records show that the Mr. ********* funds were released and batched to his bank on May 22, 2025. Typically, once funds are batched, it takes 1-2 business days for banks to make them available in customer's account. Due to Memorial Day, Tuesday would be the absolute latest, depending on his bank's processing times.
Funds may go on hold during credit card processing for various reasons, including fraud prevention, risk assessment, and to protect against potential chargebacks. Payment processors and financial institutions use these holds to ensure funds are available when needed and to protect against fraudulent activity or disputes.

Intuit refuses to provide US based clients with an email address to report technical issues that affect business operations for their Quickbooks online experience. The US is the only country in which an email solutions is not offered. There is no messaging ability on their application either. Their only resource is to require business owners and employees to call or use their chat bot. This process normally takes over an hour and, in cases in which a business owner needs to know if the issue is on their end or not, they will simply "fix" it, provide no explanation on what happened and move on. This is unacceptable. I am only asking for an email address to report issues to for investigation and explanation.Business Response

Felt a lil scammed. I filed my taxes with turbo tax. I got rejected. Said for the wrong ss# for one of my kids. I was told to get ahold of ss office to make sure the number was right. It was. Call them back. Tried to file again it was still rejected. So I went to h&r block to file and they had no issues. So the issue was on turbo tax end. I asked them for a refund. They said since I submitted payment no refund. No matter the issue.Business Response

I filed my taxes using Intuit TurboTax Online on May 1, 2025. At no point during the process was I given a clear choice between the Free and Premier versionsTurboTax defaulted to Premier without my consent or knowledge. Based on prior experience, TurboTax consistently uses manipulative design to steer users toward paid products. They highlight paid options prominently while obscuring or downplaying the free option, making it increasingly difficult to select the no-cost ********** this specific case, I was never prompted to select a service tierit defaulted directly to Premier. When asked to pay, I assumed the fee was for a standard filing due to rising TurboTax costs, only to later discover it was for the Premier version, which I neither selected nor required. My return involved a single W-2, which the Free version fully supports. I never utilized any features unique to Premier.When I contacted support, I received the following response:Unfortunately, after reviewing your request and in accordance with our refund policy, we are unable to provide a refund for the TurboTax Online product linked to Case #**********.TurboTax Online can be used at no cost up until the point that you submit payment. Once payment has been received, the product is considered to have been used to prepare your taxes, regardless of whether you print or electronically file your return, or if it's rejected.This is an unacceptable and misleading policy. Simply paying under the false impression that it was required does not constitute valid usage of an upgraded service I never opted into. It is entirely within TurboTaxs ability to verify that I did not use any Premier-exclusive features and to issue a refund accordingly.This practice is deceptive and undermines customer trust. I am requesting a full refund for a service I did not CHOOSE or USE.Business Response

To Whom It May Concern,
We understand the concerns raised by Ms. Edessa regarding the TurboTax fees, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify and respond to these concerns following our discussion. Upon a thorough review of her tax return, it was noted that the return includes business expenses listed on a Schedule C. Such complexity in a tax situation necessitates the use of our Premium version of TurboTax, rather than the Free version. This ensures compliance with *** requirements and accuracy in tax processing suited to the specifics of Ms. ******** tax situation, thereby confirming that the return does not qualify as simple.
In addition to this, it was confirmed that while she did not utilize the TurboTax Live portion of the service, the non-refundable nature of the TurboTax Online software was correctly communicated. Recognizing the concerns expressed and as a gesture of goodwill, a partial refund of $69.00, with taxes amounting to a total of $73.57, was issued back to the card on file. Please note that due to the upcoming holiday, there might be a short delay in processing, with the refund expected within 5-7 business days.
Looking forward, we have advised Ms.Edessa on the procedures to choose an appropriate version of TurboTax for future filings. This includes guidance on how to execute options such as "Clear and Start Over" or "Switch Products" before any payment is entered, ensuring the right product choice as per the tax filing needs.
We value our customers and are committed to providing them with clear, accurate, and timely tax filing solutions. We have ensured that all details regarding downgrading and switching products are readily available for our users' convenience.Respectfully,

I am rejecting this response because I don't have a business and the deductions I included are not for business but a baby sitting job that I do. For that, the Deluxe version is good enough not the Premier. Again, I was not asked to pick Premier, it was not done with my consent so everything out side of Deluxe charge should be refunded. I didn't use any Live Assistance. I should not be charged for services I didn't use at all.The system is set up to be very manipulative and I am certain that many like me never opted for a specific options and were charged based on the default. I know that this is a business but tricking people to make money is not ethical. Money taken for services not provided should be returned. The Deluxe version suffices for the deductions I included for the baby sitting job but even that, I was never given the option to choose. I am requesting a refund of all amount outside of the charge for the Delux one.
Sincerely,
Belaynesh EdessaBusiness Response

To Whom It May Concern,
Thank you for the opportunity to respond. Ms. Edessa stated she was never given the option to upgrade to the TurboTax Premium version. She has been using this version since 2022. When she returned to TurboTax this year and landed on the welcome back screen, she was in the Premium version. While she had the option to explore other tax products that might better suit her needs, she chose to remain in the Premier version.
Ms. Edessa stated that she does not have her own business and should be in the free version as she is a babysitter. She is in the Premium version because she reported self-employed (business) expenses under Schedule C to the **** including deductible meals and cell phone bill. She successfully e-filed her tax returns on 5/1/202. She reviewed the charges and entered her payment information. The charge for TurboTax is valid.

We began using Quickbooks Desktop Silver on January 1, 2025. This week (5/19/25), I received two calls from quickbooks notifying me that it was time for a renewal of my annual assistance service (cant remember exactly what it is called), and that the credit card they had on file was being declined. I questioned why I was already being charged anything annual when I had only begun using quickbooks 5 months ago. After further conversation and speaking with more than 1 person, it was confirmed for me that there was a policy change in April of 2025, and previously service calls had been included in whatever I had purchased initially. This was an entirely different service being offered. I was told by more than one person on more than one call that this was a renewal, which would imply that it was something I had previously. It was only through a lot of questioning on my part that the truth became evident. I also dont recall having elected to leave a card on file, and I certainly didnt authorize anyone to charge it. Disappointed to see such extremely deceptive language being used to trick people into purchasing additional services.Business Response

I am a small business owner that is using Quickbooks online merchant account. I invoiced my client two months in a row and they paid the invoices. Quickbooks automatically closed my merchant account and is refusing to release the funds for the second invoice to me or refund my customer. They're simply witholding the funds with no recourse. It is the second time this happens to my businesses and in my prior small business they withheld $8000 for over 5 years. This is a deliberate business decision. I have called customer support many times and they've said they won't refund my customer or send the money to my company.Business Response

To Whom It Many Concern,
Thank you for the opportunity to respond. We requested supporting documents from Mr. ***** to verify the legitimacy of the transactions and to ascertain that there were no pending disputes that might justify the funds' withholding. He cooperatively provided all necessary documentation promptly. Our team conducted a thorough review of the provided documents. After confirming that there were no active disputes or other valid reasons to continue holding the funds, we proceeded to release the funds. The funds were released on May 27, 2025, and we have communicated that he should expect to see the funds in his account within one to two business days.
We understand the inconvenience and potential distress caused by the delay in releasing these funds. Our actions were guided by a protocol designed to protect all parties involved from potential fraudulent transactions or disputes.
