When you filed your 2019 tax return, you chose Pay With My Refund, which lets you deduct your TurboTax fees from your IRS tax refund instead of paying them with a credit or debit card.
Before we debit your account, you will receive 4 emails from us:
- An email with instructions to pay your TurboTax fees (minus the Refund Processing fee, if any) online by a certain date.
- Two more followup emails asking that you either pay or request a deferment to prevent the fees from being automatically debited from your bank account.
- A final email letting you know that we're debiting the fees (minus the Refund Processing fee, if any) and that the auto-debit process cannot be stopped.
