Did anyone else receive a fee from "VPS Tax Service" on their credit card after paying their taxes through Turbotax and why wasn't the fee stated at the time fo payment?

I helped a friend with 2022 taxes.  They owed $5800 and was surprised when they withdrew the amount from bank account, then an additional $144.64!!  This was NOT shown when we E-filed and paid.  This is also a debit card and should NOT have been charged!  What fraud!.  We/they will be disputing this amount.  The government doesn't take enough!!??

@dmorneau1967 Credit/Debit card fees as shown on this IRS website - https://www.irs.gov/payments/pay-by-debit-or-credit-card-when-you-e-file

Using TurboTax to pay takes owed by credit/debit card the convenience fee of 2.49% was displayed.

When you complete your own return you must read all the info on all the screens ... the convience fee was posted twice ... 

And the same goes on the IRS website if you choose to pay with a debit or credit card ... direct debiting from your bank account is free (but not if you use the debit card on the checking account) ...
