[Adrianna211l]

when paying for the service online I am quoted on a number and then an additional processing fee is added. is there a way to avoid this fee? would I be able to buy the service package at a wholesale store like Sam's Club to prevent and avoid the extra cost?

Avoid the $40 "refund processing fee" by paying your online TurboTax fees upfront using a credit or debit card instead of choosing to have those fees deducted from your federal refund by a third party bank.  You have to pay before you e-file.

Or----purchase the desktop download software from Sam's or some other retailer and you will already be paying upfront for e-filing.   You need a full PC or Mac to use the desktop download.   It does not work on any sort of mobile device.  With desktop software there is a $25 fee to e-file the state but you can avoid that fee if you print and mail the state return.
