Did you choose to pay the $39 from your federal refund instead of paying with a credit or debit card before you filed? You agreed to an EXTRA $40 "refund processing fee" to allow a third party bank to receive your refund from the IRS, take out the $39 you owe TurboTax, and send the rest of the refund to you.

Did you already e-file? If so, it is too late to avoid that fee. If you did not file......you can still remove it and pay upfront.

Or it is for a state return. Federal and state are separate charges. Each are $39 right now.
