Federal Refund $55 Less

[Terrapin69]

So I just got my federal refund deposited and it is exactly $55 less than what was listed on my return. I understand there are very likely TurboTax fees that I paid but where can I see a breakdown of those fees to see that they indeed add up to $55.

How can I see my TurboTax  fees?

Yeah. I don't have those options at all. I am logged into my TurboTax account and I need to see file nor tax tools. When I go to my products and payments I show that I paid $25 to file federal and that's pretty much it. So where is the $55 coming from?

My next best guess--since we have no access to your account information:

 Did you use the CD/download software?   If you used the desktop software there would have been a fee to e-file the state return.  Some users purchased the CD/download with a $10 discount on the $25 state e-file fee so it would have been $15---and then if you chose to pay that fee by having the fee deducted from your federal refund, you agreed to pay a $40 "refund processing fee" to the third party bank that received the refund from the IRS, took out the $15 for TT, collected its own $40, and sent you the rest.    Choosing to pay the state e-file fee using a credit or debit card would have avoided that refund processing fee.

Yeah thanks That's probably it. I just like to see what the fees were so I understand better. Also it looks like I filed five different returns but fees were only deducted from one. Intuit also makes it incredibly difficult to get answers or to contact them so this may be the last year I used TurboTax. Thanks for your assistance.
