Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Oh---and the $45?   Are you in CA?   When you had to pay for the state e-file fee did you choose to pay that from your federal refund instead of paying with a credit or debit card?  If you made that unfortunate choice, the $45 fee was for "premium tax services"----which means that first your federal refund goes to a third party bank.  The third party bank takes out the $25 you owe to TurboTax, keeps $45 for itself, and sends the rest of the refund to you.
