where did the other 45.00 go? last time I use turbo tax.
This is a user community forum, not a direct route to TurboTax Support. But based on a fee of $125 we can take a guess at what you might have used.
I suspect you used Online Deluxe. If not, you need to provide some info.
Federal return: $40
State return: $40
Optional: Pay fees out of Federal refund: Additional service fee of $40 or $45, depending on whether it's California or not. In California, the fee is $45 (where it is bundled as Premium Services)..
So that adds up to $120 (or $125 if you are in California.)
Plus possible sales tax.
The extra fee is for that optional "pay out of refund" option. That service fee is avoided if one chooses to pay upfront by credit/debit card.
If you are in California, then you also get additional benefits with the "pay out of the refund" option. See this FAQ for what is included in California:
