Did you choose to pay your TurboTax fees by having them deducted from your federal refund? Or --- before you e-filed --- did you pay your fees using a credit or debit card?

If you chose "refund processing" then you agreed to pay for a third party bank to receive your federal refund, extract the amount owed to TurboTax for the use of the tax software, and keep a $40 ($45 in CA) processing fee for itself. Then they send what is left of your federal refund to your account.

How can I see my TurboTax fees?
