I just read the fine print in the "Refund Processing Agreement" Page of the Turbo Tax pdf file.
It states:
"THIS FEE IS COLLECTED ONLY AT THE TIME THE REFUND(S) OCCURS. YOU CAN
AVOID THIS FEE AND NOT USE THE REFUND PROCESSING SERVICE BY INSTEAD PAYING THE
APPLICABLE TURBOTAX FEES TO INTUIT INC. BY CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD AT THE TIME YOU FILE YOUR
2021 FEDERAL INCOME TAX RETURN(S) AND ELECTING TO HAVE YOUR REFUND(S) DIRECTLY
DEPOSITED IN YOUR OWN BANK ACCOUNT OR MAILED TO YOU."
I did indeed pay the applicable turbotax fees to intuit inc by credit card at the time i filed my 2021 federal income tax return. and i did indeed elect to have my refunds directly deposited.
so therefore, i have NO CLUE why i was still charged those processing fees.
