I think I can explain that. Did you use online Deluxe and prepared 1 Federal return and 2 state returns? And then did you choose to pay the fees out of the Federal refund (which has a service fee)? If so, then this likely explains your $154 difference:
Deluxe Federal return 39.99.
State return at 36.99.
Second state return at 36.99.
Option to pay the fees out of the Federal refund: 39.99 service fee (or 44.99 for California filers.)
So if that's what you used, then the total would be 39.99 + 36.99 + 36.99 + 39.99 = 153.96 (158.96 for California filers)
Does that sound right?
