No. You paid for the use of tax preparation software. And you received your income tax refund. If the IRS chose to send you a check instead of a direct deposit, that was due to a decision made by the IRS or due to you entering wrong banking information and having to receive a check instead of a direct deposit.
From the IRS:
If you got a paper check instead of direct deposit, it’s because:
- The account is not under your name, your spouse's name or a joint account
- Your financial institution rejected a direct deposit
- You requested more than 3 electronic refunds into 1 account
