    You chose to pay TurboTax from your refund.  TurboTax did not receive any funds from you until it was deducted from your refund by Santa Barbara.  You should not have paid twice.  From your description, your total cost to prepare the return should be $178.24 ($168+10.24).  Your refund should be $766.66.  If the numbers are correct based on your description.  What is the actual amount of the refund received?

     

    If this does not help, please come back to the forum with more details.
