I got duped using Santa Barbara Tax Products Group too. I've used TurboTax for years and trusted them, but not anymore. I was helping my daughter file her return, and we saw the option of paying the $25 state filing fee by using her federal refund. We certainly did not understand this third-party arrangement. Got charged $40 to pay the $25 state filing fee. Very disappointed in TurboTax for not making this clearer. Also, very difficult to navigate to the FAQ page to find out about this. Things have gone downhill at TurboTax. My question is can we undo this SBTPG ripoff and just use a credit card to pay the $25 state filing fee?
