Not sure what you thought the $40 was for----always--always--always---look at your fees before you e-file so you know what you are dealing with.
The $40 "refund processing fee" is the fee that is charged when you make the choice to have all of your TurboTax software fees deducted from your federal refund instead of paying upfront using a credit or debit card before you file. When you make that choice, your refund goes from the IRS to a third party bank; that bank takes your TT fees out of the refund, keeps $40 for itself, and sends you the rest of the refund. You had to agree to it---it is important to read every screen carefully to see what you are agreeing to.
Santa Barbara Tax Products Group, LLC (SBTPG) is the bank that handles the Refund Processing Service when you choose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your refund. This option also has an additional charge from the bank that processes the transaction.
You can contact them SBTPG, toll-free, at 1-877-908-7228 or go to their secure website www.sbtpg.com
