Did you use the process in this TurboTax support FAQ to remove the pay with refund option - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-account-billing/remove-pay-refund...

 

If you used the process and the $40 service charge is still showing on your account then you will need to contact TurboTax support for assistance.  Use the key words Billing Issue

I had the same question. And the answers, or process to opt out of paying the RPS fee make it seem like Intuit is making it difficult to avoid paying the $40 fee. They say it's optional in my State. Even the fine print in the Refund Processing Service Disclosure describes no additional cost for e-filing and paper check. Yet, when I choose to have a check mailed, I'm still forced to pay the fee. 

 

What am I missing, or will Intuit provide a bug fix before 4/15/2025 at 11:59 local time?

I found a way around it. It's not obvious. Mentioned in the first answer is something paying with a credit card vs having the fee taken from your federal refund. Do that. Also have the check mailed vs direct deposit. That's really key.  I just  payed $15 to e-file state (after a $10 credit). I'd rather wait for a few weeks for small refund than pay some stupid $40 fee.
