I was quoted $80 but charged $119 with no explanation. All I had different from last year was interest income and a W-2.

    If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund you also agreed to a $39 "refund processing fee" that is charged by the third party bank that will receive your refund from the IRS, take out your fees and send the rest of the refund to you.   

     

     

    When you choose "refund processing"   TurboTax gets its fees when the IRS releases your refund.  Your refund goes to the third party bank.  The bank takes out your fees and then that bank sends the rest of the refund to you.

     This is a public internet forum so we do not have access to your TurboTax account.  But you can check your TurboTax fees.

     

    1. After signing in to TurboTax, open or continue your return
    2. Select Tax Tools from the menu, and then Tools
    3. A Tools Center box will pop up on your screen
    4. Select My Fees
