Avoid the $40 fee by paying your TurboTax fees with a credit or debit card before you file your tax return. If you choose to pay your fees by having them deducted from your federal refund, you involve a third party bank and that bank gets the $40. When you choose "refund processing" your federal refund goes to that bank first, then the bank takes out enough to pay TurboTax and keeps another $40 for itself. Some users make that choice because they are short of funds to just pay upfront before they file. You are NOT required to use refund processing.
