How do I not have enough in my state refund of $172 to pay the $128 for Turbo Tax?

Turbo tax is saying I don't have enough in my state refund to pay for the service but the total is less than $172

If you choose to pay your TurboTax fees from your refund, you also pay an extra "refund processing fee" of $40 ($45 in CA) + sales tax.  So sorry, your refund will not cover your fees plus the refund processing.  You will need to pay upfront before you file by using a credit or debit card.

And it’s better not to have the fees deducted from your refund.   Then you won’t be paying the Extra $40 Refund Processing Service charge (45 in California) and your refund will come directly to you instead of going through the 3rd party bank to take the fees out which might delay getting your refund.
