I used Intuit Turbo Tax online for the first time this year and agreed to pay their $129 fee out of my tax return, but the check I received from Green Dot Bank is less than the amount it should be after the $129 fee is taken out of my refund.

    How much is missing?  There is an extra $40 (45 for California) Refund Processing Service charge.  And if they couldn't deposit it to your bank account  and had to mail you a check I think there is a $10 fee for that too.

    Also need to account for state sales tax.  Did the IRS deposit the full refund or did they keep some of it for a debt of some kind.  AND the state refund is sent separately if that is what you are missing right now.

    Me too. did you find out why? The IRS told me to contact TT and TT told me to contact the IRS. Nobody can give me an answer. My check was $155 less than what I was expecting
