Same here man, it's so much better and even if you pay it's 1/5th the price. I usually ended up paying about 60 bucks for TurboTax, this season it was free. #Neveragain
Accepted by IRS on 20 feb. filed w TurboTax. Itemized.
refund was supposed to be deposited today.
IRS website does not even list an estimated date.
“Your tax return is still being processed.
A refund date will be provided when available.’”
Like everything involving our fed govt now, it’s messed up and dysfunctional. Trump has destroyed this country.

Just filed today and Turbo Tax is still screwed up on this issue
They let you override the default of the full $7500 which is what I did; but on the actual form that is filed which you can view but not edit it shows $1875 with 100% as the amount for the phase out which is just wrong
not sure if my return will get rejected or amount reduced; I owe so they will tell me I am sure
also certain some will stick with the Turbo Tax default of $7500 and either get lucky or get in trouble
months later it is ridiculous they have not made the form easy

That's GOTTA be it. There is NOTHING else going on in this country except your taxes.
The 08'-16' IRS was well known for its productivity and timelines. Orange man bad. (Rolling eyes)

I'll assume you have the latest update since TT is pretty annoying about making sure.
It has been a while, but with the last update, it fixed thing so that you start with the $7500 full amount and then just follow the step-by-step and you end up with the $1875 final amount. They fixed it so it should work properly without having to make any manual intervention.

I filed mine shortly after they final “fix” my return was accepted and I got my refund 3750 about 2 weeks later. It’s currently about half that value in the stock market :/
Done all online, so assume that is the latest version.
When I left it at $7500 ; it was going to send me a rebate check which I knew was incorrect.
Manually changed it to the $1875 amount so is the correct amount but the actual attached form is incorrectly filled out by them.
Seems like they changed it yet again.
Should move to another system but gotten lazy with the convenience of pulling up previous year information on the same platform (reason for still using TurboTax)
Only reason I rushed to do it and filed was because of the stimulus ; based on 2018 our family would receive nothing but based on 2019 we would.
Latest I read is they still use 2018 even if you have 2019 filed ; and are only looking at 2019 if you did not file in 2018 ; which seems absurd but we will see.
Not sure if true but also read that the amount is really a tax credit for 2020 paid in advance ; so is possible if I don't get anything now and meet the requirements based on 2020 amounts that I will get the stimulus next year. If that is true then people making much more in 2020 than they did in 2018 will be in for an unpleasant surprise next year as they will owe some or all of it back.
I field with TurboTax on 2/22 - right after they fixed the credit form - and received my return, including the credit, on 3/11. My refund did go into review for about 3 days (progress bar disappeared from the IRS refund status page and a message referring me to topic 152 was displayed), but we claimed some other credits and part of the EV credit was allocated to my business, both things known to trigger reviews anyway.
