I filed my taxes with Turbo Tax last year and their third party vendor hasn’t delivered my tax refund and is saying they need to deduct fees for delivery. Im asking for a receipt for the fees and they are refusing.

This sound suspicious.
Even when you use TurboTax to file your federal income tax return, the IRS directly sends your tax return to you. You can request it direct deposit it into your bank account or mail you a check.
I know of no third party vendor ever involved in this process.

The person who was in charge of doing our taxes last year quit and I can't seem to find out whether if they filed for 2021 or not. Is there a way to check if my business filed taxes for 2021?
answered on Dec 1, 2022
You can go onto your IRS portal and pull the account transcript for the business. This will tell you if a return is on file. If you are unable to do it that way, you can call the IRS directly. Just be prepared for long wait times.
The easiest way is contacting the firm you worked with or... View More
