TurboTax is not affiliated with Santa Barbara Tax Products Group other than using their services to have the TurboTax fees deducted from the federal tax refund. They are the third party processor who receives the federal tax refund, deducts the TurboTax account fee and their service charge then direct deposits the remaining federal tax refund into the bank account requested by the taxpayer.
There is a $39 service charge assessed by Santa Barbara Tax Products Group to handle the federal tax refund received from the IRS, remove the TurboTax fees and depositing the tax refund.
If you used the TurboTax Deluxe online edition ($39) and added a state tax return ($39) and requested to have the TurboTax fees paid from the federal refund ($39 service charge) your total charge would be $117 (plus sales tax if applicable to your state)
