Apparently your sister was not paying enough attention when she chose "refund processing" on your behalf. When you choose to pay your TurboTax fees from your federal refund, you also have to pay a "refund processing fee" of $40 ($45 in CA) to the third party bank that handles the refund processing. If you have your sister prepare your tax return again next year, tell her you want to pay your TurboTax fees using your credit or debit card before you e-file so that you will not incur that extra fee.
