Then if you want to have the fees deducted from your refund there is a $40 (45 in Calif) Pay with Refund fee which you can avoid by paying upfront with a credit card.  

If you have a tax due and pay it by credit card there are credit card fees.

I paid the $40 for a bank fee from TurboTax, I then was charged another $40 bank fee from Santa Barbara Tax program plus a Misc. Fee of $88 both of which I was not appraised of in advance nor approved.

The fee from Santa Barbara Tax Products Group is a bank fee that this institution charges for handling the deduction of TurboTax fees from a user's refund. Users can avoid that fee by paying TurboTax fees upfront with a credit card or print and mail state for free to avoid the charge for e-filing the state return.

An $88 fee may have been for upgrading to Deluxe, or state e-filing fees.
