If you used online Self-Employed then it was not free. That is a paid version of the software. The Free Edition cannot be used for self-employment income, so if you had self-employment income you had to upgrade to a paid version. Apparently you also acknowledged when you filed the return that you had to pay, and chose to have the fees deducted from your refund.
Is your refund taking an unusually long time to arrive? Or was your refund seized to pay a debt you owed? if so, you signed an agreement that says TT can withdraw its fees from your account. TurboTax would have sent several emails to you before they took the money out of your account.
