What is the processor refund processing fee

is this fee just for having the turbo tax fees deducted from my refund?  if I pay by credit card will I still have to pay the $34.99 fee??

The Refund Processing Service lets you deduct your TurboTax fees from your federal tax refund. It comes in handy if you don't have a credit or debit card to pay your TurboTax fees. Please see the TurboTax FAQ below and the related links within the FAQ for more information regarding the refund processing service. If you choose to pay by credit card instead of with your refund, using the refund processing service, then you would not have to pay the refund processing service fee.

If you choose to pay for your State E file (24.99) out of your refund you will be charged an additional fee of 34.99 to process your return. But, If you choose to pay with your Debit or Credit Card you will only be charged the 24.99 to E file the return

@talldrinkofwater  that is only for the Desktop program.  This question is about the Online version.  Although the 34.99 Refund Processing Service charge is the same.
