Maybe you did not read the screens carefully enough when you chose refund processing. You actually signed an agreement that said your refund would go first to the third party bank and that if the IRS was too slow to issue your refund, your bank account could be debited for your fees. Your refund went from the IRS to SBTPG---the third party bank--and then that bank took out your TurboTax fees and sent the rest of the refund to you. You are okay to spend your refund as you please.
