I am confused by this additional fee also. I purchased the Premier version from Amazon for 82.99 and used that download to prepare my taxes. I am still getting charged the $40 fee at the end as a "Refund Processing Fee". Can anyone tell me why?
If you are efiling a state return there is a state efile fee of $25 (except no fee for NY state). If you pay that by credit/debit card, there is no extra fee. However, if you choose to pay that $25 fee out of your Federal refund, there is an extra $40 service fee for that option ($45 for California), which involves a third-party bank. You can avoid that $40 service fee by going back and removing the option to pay out of your Federal refund, and then pay the $25 state efile fee upfront with credit/debit card.
