Getting charged to file taxes when pay for tax bundle through QuickBooks

I do not have estimated taxes to pay through Quickbooks self employed. I pay for the QuickBooks self employed tax bundle monthly so I can file my taxes without additional charges. However, I'm still getting asked to pay to file my taxes despite paying for the sub. What gives?

Getting charged to file taxes when pay for tax bundle through QuickBooks

Hi there, kesteger23.

 

Let me point you in the right direction for assistance to ensure your concerns are rectified so you can get your tax filed and get back to business seamlessly.

 

That said, I’d recommend you contact our support, which can best assist you with this. This is to enable them to check your bundle account securely and figure out the root cause of why you are being charged regardless of paying this bundle monthly.

 

Our phone support can also go over the bundle's inclusions with you to help you with your taxes. 

 

Additionally, you can follow the steps outlined in this article to get support to discuss this issue and provide fixes in no time. This resource gives you the details on how you can connect to them and includes support hours and schedules to reach them at your convenience: Contact QuickBooks Self-Employed Support.

 

As always, the Community always has your back whenever you need assistance. Have a good one!

I am having the same problem, and this is an unacceptable answer, given that the current wait time is over an hour to speak to a human and there's NOTHING that the automated system can do to help. Are you clogged up with everyone having the same problem?

Unfortunately, you need to clear your Turbo Tax and start over. I just did that. Now I can't figure out how to export my QB back into Turbo Tax, They need to fix this. It seems to be a common problem.

Thanks for joining the thread and sharing your sentiments with us, @pickyvegan.

 

I can see how frustrating it is to sign up for a service that isn't working as it should be. 

 

When dealing with billing concerns, I'd highly suggest getting in touch again with our live agent. I know that you've already reached out to them. However, I'd still recommend giving us another call since only they have the proper tools that could check the cause of the issue.

Please also know that the waiting time for their response depends on the number of calls they received. I'd appreciate it if you can extend your patience with us until our agent becomes available to assist you. Simply follow the steps that were shared by my colleague KurtKyle_M to connect with them.

 

On the other hand, you can check our support hours to get more details on when is the best time to contact them.

 

I've added this article that will help you prepare your annual tax: QuickBooks Self-Employed - Annual taxes guide.

 

I'm always willing to lend a hand in case you have any other concerns about QBSE. I'll keep an eye out for your response. Have a good day and take care.

Same here.

They need to fix this and issue refunds.

I was in this same boat and got it to work. I have the subscription through Apple. Here's what I did:

(1) updated QB on my iPhone -- it wasn't showing my subscription in the QB app, but it did show it in Apple subscriptions.

(2) Logged out, logged back in to QB on my iPhone.

Repeated these until it worked:

(3) Logged out, logged back in to QB on my laptop.

(4) Logged out, logged back in to TurboTax on my laptop.

(5) Went to the FILE section in TurboTax and looked at how much it was trying to charge me.

(*) Throughout this process, I kept checking the "subscriptions" page in my Intuit account, too.

Sad to say... except that it eventually worked and showed $0 for both federal & state... I just kept logging out & logging back in and checking Intuit's accounts page ... and it finally showed that I had the bundle in all 3 places and didn't charge me to file.

 

It took maybe 30 minutes. BUT I didn't have to clear my data and didn't have to pay or fill out forms manually.

 

Yes, they need to fix it. Hopefully, this will work for more people since we're at the deadline.

 

Good luck!

Hahahahaha - What a joke you are as a company! Oh, except you have our money, so I guess the joke's on us. I too was mistakenly charged to file my taxes when I pay monthly for the self-employed bundle. I have been on hold on chat for hours, and on FIVE customer service calls (again, for hours - the last one lasted an hour and 15 min) where I have been repeatedly promised that a refund is on the way, and  guess what???? Still no money. This is intentional. It's illegal. That class action lawsuit that was just filed is no joke and just proves my point - you have super shady business practices and you need to do better Quickbooks.

I'm filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and suggest you all do the same.  Still waiting for them to refund me for my tax filings, and guess what, after waiting 3 weeks (and an hour & ¼ on the phone today), they tell me that my refund was "stuck" and they have to reprocess it and I have to wait another 2-3 weeks. They are fraudsters.
