Yeah, it feels EXTREMELY deceptive and very poorly advertised. Aside from it being unfair that TurboTax is allowing this fee to transpire.
I work in payment processing. Whomever the third-party bank Intuit is partnering with might be, that bank earns their revenue through transactional fees charged to the merchant, not to the consumer. The extra $44 is a JUNK FEE.
Intuit wants to charge me $44 to pay Intuit for the services I used. Imagine if you walked into a store, selected two items for $118 and then the cashier explained it would cost a further $44 for the right to pay for the items you'd like to purchase.
Please contact me when the class action lawsuit is filed.
