Does the additional $39 processing fee apply if I pay by credit card?

No. The Extra $40 Refund Processing Service charge (45 in California) is only if you want to have the Turbo Tax fees deducted from a federal refund. Then it goes though a 3rd party bank to take the fees out. So pay upfront with a credit card and avoid the extra fee. Then your refund will go directly to you and might be faster.

No. The $39 is only if you use the option to pay the TurboTax online account fees with the federal tax refund.

Note - There is a 2.49% convenience fee to pay the taxes owed by credit card through TurboTax.

If you are going to use the credit card to pay the federal taxes owed, go to this IRS website for credit card processors with lower fees - https://www.irs.gov/payments/pay-your-taxes-by-debit-or-credit-card
