I was told it would be about $30 total to file my Federal and CA state taxes but I checked my bank account and I was charged $64 and change. Is this correct?

Yes it could be.  If you selected the option to have the state fee 29.99 deducted from your federal refund there is an EXTRA 34.99 Refund Processing Service charge for a total of 64.98.  Which you could have avoided by paying the fee with a credit card.  You had to agree to the extra charge on 2 screens before filing.

I paid with my credit card! So I must have missed "unclicking" an agree section. Is there a way to change this? I specifically went in and made sure I didn't have to pay that extra fee but it still showed up as charged.
