This? There is a $40 Refund Processing charge if you want to have the Turbo Tax fees deducted from your federal refund. Or you can pay upfront with a credit card to avoid the extra charge.

It is not an IRS fee. It is a fee you pay to a third party bank if you want to pay your TurboTax fees from your federal refund instead of paying upfront before you e-file. If you pay upfront with a credit or debit card, then you just pay for using the software. If you choose "refund processing" there is an EXTRA $40 ($45 in CA) fee to have a third party bank receive your refund from the IRS, take out the amount you owe to TurboTax, keep $40 for itself, and send you the rest
