imap_check_subscribed will cause folders marked as "subscribed" on the 
IMAP server to be added to the "mailboxes" list automatically.  That 
list is used to display folders in the sidebar, among other things.

It sounds like "TurboTax" is not marked as subscribed on the IMAP 
server.

>set imap_list_subscribed

Enabling this option will cause Mutt to *only* list subscribed folders 
when you browse folders (e.g., using <change-folder> and then '?').  You 
may need to then type 'T' (<toggle-subscribed>) to show the new TurboTax 
folder.

Once you see the TurboTax folder, you can type 's' (<subscribe>) to mark 
the folder as subscribed on the IMAP server.
