When will the cost of my return be able to be taken from my return

After the IRS sends the full refund.  Then it goes through the 3rd party bank to take the fees out plus the extra 39.99 Refund Processing Service charge (44.99 in California).  The IRS won't even start taking returns until Jan 27 and then it will take them a while to start sending out refunds.

After the IRS accepts your tax return and issues the tax refund.  Could be 6 to 8 weeks from now or longer if the IRS finds an issue with your tax return.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for information if the IRS delays your tax refund - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/charges-and-fees/help/why-was-my-bank-account-auto-debited-for-tur...

Since you requested to have the TurboTax account fees deducted from your federal tax refund, the IRS will send the refund to a third party processor to have the fees and the service charge deducted. The third party processor will deduct the TurboTax fees plus the service charge and then attempt to direct deposit the remaining refund balance into the account that you entered on your tax return.

For the status of your tax refund you will need to contact the third party processor, Santa Barbara Tax Product Group, using their website - https://www.sbtpg.com/

And your refund has to be big enough to cover the fees plus the extra 39.99 Refund Processing Service charge (44.99 in California).
