the bank acct that my refund was supposed to be deposited into was charged for my filing fees. That bank acct is not mine and the owner of that acct does NOT give permission to debit their acct.

Oh, my!  That sounds like a predicament.  For future reference, it's not recommended to deposit one's tax refund into someone else's account in the first place.  In the majority of cases the bank usually would refuse the deposit and send it back to the IRS.  There's also a slight chance that the bank accepts such a deposit, but the account owner could keep it.

See if I'm understanding this correctly.  It sounds like your Federal refund was either delayed unusually long at the IRS, or the IRS reduced the refund, so TurboTax ultimately debited the bank account for their fees.   If that's what happened, you should have received emails prior to the debit asking you to pay the fees to avoid the bank debit, or to ask for a deferment if you couldn't pay at the time.

In any case, here's how to reach TurboTax Support during business hours, so they can help get things straightened out.

Hours are 5AM-5PM Pacific (8AM-8PM Eastern) Mon-Fri.

You should reimburse your friend for the fees being deducted unless they can wait to get it out of your refund when it comes.  But their bank will probably reject the deposit so the sbtpg intermediary bank will mail you a check and charge you another $20 fee for mailing you a check.
