Apology and Refund from TurboTax

ha ha ha ... I just got this email from TurboTax ... I know I wasn't the only one with problems since it was all over the news, but I didn't realize it was that big of a deal! I can't complain though, since apparently I was able to file my taxes for free :)

Dear TurboTax Customer,

We want to let you know that Intuit will be refunding any TurboTax credit card charges that were charged to your credit or debit card between 3 p.m. PDT Tuesday, April 17 and 4 a.m. PDT Wednesday, April 18.

We deeply regret the frustration and anxiety you may have experienced trying to e-file your return on April 17.

We worked closely with the IRS to allow taxpayers who were affected by the delay to file their returns until midnight tonight, Thursday, April 19, without penalty. Intuit will also pay any other penalties that customers incur as a result of the delay, although none are anticipated.

We will be contacting you early next week with additional details about this refund. We value your business and appreciate your patience.

Sincerely,
Bob Meighan
Vice President, TurboTax Customer Advocacy
Intuit, Inc.
