Sorry--you must have sped right past that. The screen told you there would be a $40 ($45 in CA) refund processing fee if you chose to pay from your federal refund. You can avoid that extra fee if you pay upfront using a credit or debit card BEFORE you e-file. When you choose to pay from your federal refund, your refund goes first to a third party bank. That bank takes out the amount you owe to TurboTax, collects its own $40 fee, and sends the rest of the refund to you.
