Or was your federal refund deposit reduced for $55? That could be for the state efile fee. In the Desktop program it is $25 to efile a state return. But you get a $10 rebate from Costco. So it’s $15. Then if you want the $15 deducted from your federal refund there is an Extra $40 Refund Processing Service charge. So 15+40=55. People get going too fast to efile and don’t read the screens slowly and click on the wrong button. You could have paid the $15 with a credit card to avoid the extra fee. I buy from Costco too.
In the Desktop program you get one free state PROGRAM download to prepare unlimited state returns. Then each state return (including the first one) is $25 to efile. Or you can print and mail state for free.
