When you choose the option to pay the TurboTax fees out of the Federal refund that is handled by a third-party company called SBTPG (Santa Barbara Tax Products Group).   SBTPG receives your refund from the IRS at one of their 2 banks--Sunrise Banks of St. Paul, MN, or Citizens Banking Co. of Sandusky, OH.  That bank sets up a temporary account for you to receive the refund, and then takes out the TurboTax fees.  It then sends the remainder on to your bank account in a second direct deposit.  If that deposit fails, the intermediary bank will mail you a check.

You can check on the status of your refund at SBTPG by logging into their website at:
