Hello I want pay with my refund but Unfortunately, you’re not eligible to pay for TurboTax with your refund

[Critter-3]

Look at the composition of your refund ... the portion of the refund  on lines 28 & 30 cannot be used to qualify for the loan and can be a denying factor. 

Why can't I deduct my TurboTax fees from my refund?

Other users have posted that TT Support told them this has been discontinued for the rest of the tax year.

@SweetieJean Refund processing was stopped for about a week, but is now available again--until mid-October.   But the user must have a refund sufficient to pay the fees + the refund processing fee, and a refund amount based on the recovery rebate credit or child tax credit does not "count."    There must be enough on line 35a to pay those fees without the amounts from line 28 or line 30.

@xmasbaby0 @Critter-3 while it makes perfect sense that Lines 28 and 30 "should not count", where did TT post that in their FAQs or elsewhere on their website?

This is not listed on the TT FAQ ... it is a bank prerequisite this year  so if the option to use the refund processing service was not presented to you in the FILE tab  then you are not eligible to use it.
