If you used that payment method to pay TurboTax fees with your refund, the IRS first sends the Federal refund to an intermediary bank where the fees are subtracted.
- Then that bank sends the rest of your funds to your bank account (or card) in a second direct deposit.
- SBTPG (aka TPG) is the company that administers that process.
- There is a 39.99 service fee when using that payment method (44.99 for California filers.)
