Volvogirls response is perfect : to avoid a usurous surcharge make sure you PAY BY CREDIT CARD DO NOT PAY OUT OF YOUR REFUND to avoid $45 TTAX surcharge
I have used TTAX for almost as long as its been available so I am not a TTax hater, but they way the interview is currently setup is extremely misleading so you are likely to be tricked into paying this large surcharge.
TTax needs to be completely upfront about the extra charges so people can make an informed decision. The original poster who asked about this is a perfect example of how somebody was misled into paying extra.
Currently the very misleading wording in the program has a line at the end of the section offering paying out of refund (see above picture) saying "Must efile Federal Return , $45 Refund processing fee service applies"
Its not clear if this applies to a normal user: is a normal user a "must efile user" ??
To be unambiguous it should say something direct like " We charge an additional processing fee of $45 for this payment option."
