Can someone explain consent required for paying turbo tax with my federal refund?

The quote is "Federal law requires this consent form be provided to you. Unless authorized by law, we cannot use your tax return information for purposes other than the preparation and filing of your tax return without your consent. If you consent to the disclosure of your tax return information, Federal law may not protect your tax return information from further use or distribution." 

Does this mean turbotax will use OR sell my information for marketing or data collection? What does "further use" mean?

[LisaBr]

This consent form is not to sell or market your information.  Further use means to offer you "our" products such as getting your refund on a card or paying your fees with your refund.  Federal law requires us to include this language since we are using your information for more than just filing your taxes.

TurboTax can't offer you those services unless you officially give it permission to "know" about your tax refund status. Otherwise, your tax return info is considered private.
