BAD NEWS for anyone that used TURBO TAX

SO if you used turbo tax. YOu probably wont get stimulated through your bank. Instead you will be stimulated via USPS.

I hope this is not true but I have been trying to find this out for a hour now, and it looks like this is the case.

If anyone has used turbo tax and got theirs direct deposited let me know but i bet that is the case.

I'll never use turbo tax again. I just finished paying off what I owed after an audit and a mistake made when I used them.

H&R Block or my family accountant from hear on out. Least that way I have someone to blame and H&R block will do the court/legal crap for me.

Disaster. Screw turbo tax.


of course the error I think was because some asshat that I did work for 1099'd me and didn't tell me. Sonsa*****. So I guess it's not turbo taxes fault... but still. Mad mojo for me. ..haaa.

This is true if you payed turbotax by having their fees deducted from your refund.
I payed by CC because there was a hefty fee if you did the above.

If you payed them directly, you would have received the stimulus money by direct deposit. (Assuming you filled your bank info)
I received mine and I used Turbo Tax.

I would have to strongly recommend staying far, far away from H&R Block! Read this link, its very interesting:

However, if you have access to a good family accountant or CPA, that would be a good alternative to TurboTax.

Does it have a limit?

I am a student so I definitely wouldn't come near that limit
