Ok, hear me out. For years, Turbo Tax hasn’t gotten been marketing the “get your return 5 days early” if you pay them an extra amount of money, about $30 I believe. HOWEVER, they know that if you choose to pay your TT fees with you refund, the money is going to go to SBTG first and then be sent to you, which means there’s no chance you’re getting your refund early.

Now, if TT knows your refund will have to go through extra steps before it gets to you meaning you won’t get it early, why even give customers paying with their return the option to receive their refund early. This feels like deceptive marketing and intentional fraud. If this happens year after year and thousands, if not millions of people are paying this extra $30 to get their refund early, yet the don’t, how is TT able to continue this practice????

Maybe there’s a piece I’m missing, but I feel as though this has to stop and the people who truly need their return early, are the ones most likely paying their fees with their return, taking advantage of people in need by “guaranteeing” they’ll get their refund early.

Yes I agree just said this today. How can you get it 5 days early when IRS has not sent it yet. I don’t deal with them anymore
