Why do I have to pay for Turbo Tax Premium service when filing a e file tax return for refund to my checking account?

@tchatas You do not "have" to use Premium Services.  Pay your TurboTax fees upfront using a credit or debit card BEFORE you e-file and you will not be using Premium Services.  When you say that you want to pay for using TurboTax by paying from your federal refund, it puts an extra $45 fee for that ---a third party bank receives your refund, takes out the amount you owe to TT, collects its own $45 fee, and sends you the rest.  You are NOT required to do that.  

 

 

How can I see my TurboTax  fees?

If your TurboTax fees are higher than expected, you can reduce them by removing add-ons     (BEFORE you e-file) :
