I have an extra $40 fee showing on my SBTPG account that is not shown in my TurboTax order review. Why am I being charged an additional fee?

The $40 fee is the service charge from SBTPG for processing the federal tax refund to deduct the TurboTax account fees and then direst depositing the remaining refund into the account you specified on your tax return.

 

This charge was shown when you selected to pay the TurboTax account fees with your federal tax refund.

If there is an additional charge of $40 from SBTPG that is Not for the refund processing service fee then you need to contact SPTPG.

This is in addition to the refund transfer fee. Why should I have to contact SBTPG? I didn't pay for their services, I paid for TurboTax services? So now I'm supposed to track down their number, fight to talk to a human, just to be told to contact TurboTax?

This is addition to the refund transfer fee. There is a federal refund transfer fee AND a 1st refund transfer fee?

You did pay for the SBTPG services when you requested to have the TurboTax account fees paid from the federal tax refund.

 

You need to contact SBTPG and find out why you are being charged by Them for this additional fee.

So what is the grand total?   Federal and state are separate fees, 39.99 each.  So in Deluxe it could look like you are paying the 39.99 twice or 3x with the transfer processing charge.

It shows the $39.99 federal filing fee, $39.99 state filing fee, $39 federal refund transfer fee AND a $40 1st refund transfer fee. So 4 charges of roughly $40 each and there should only be 3.

This is what she is talking about your not listening …. We paid 39$ fee to have it transferred to our bank accounts already that 39$ TT should be using to pay the bank that is also charging $40 +$39= $79 to transfer our money to our accounts !!! No where on SBTPG OR TURBO TAX contract does it say one thing about a $40 1st time transfer fee when I’ve been with TT since 2016 even have a screenshot of last years fee from sbtpg

 

1st REFUND?? It’s my 5th TRY AGAIN!

I'm currently viewing the additional $40 "1st Refund Transfer Fee" on my SBTPG statement even though my receipt states that there is only one $39 refund processing service fee.

 

Would you be able to tell me who contacted you? Did you receive support through TurboTax or through SBTPG? 

 

Thanks!

you all lie about waiving processing fees for using credit karma on recording line

your bank received my funds yet despite it being open and running as well as the reserves will NOT PROCESS until the 23rd 

you reps lie to consumer about what is available to them 

refusals to transfer to manager

your bank makes mistake on my numbers yet im supposed to trust you all

you all state that you cant update your fee amount yet bank says you can , then you all state now i will have to wait for you all to be paid for me to request a refund NOT THAT ITS GUARANTEED IT HAS TO GO THROUGH APPROVALS

YOU ARE ALL MANIPULATING CONSUMERS TO USE YOUR PRODUCTS AND DONT CARE

I was charged extra as well and was told that it would not be refunded. I guess they choose who they completely screw over. How many people were robbed of this much money and didn't pay attention? Why should we contact the companies that turbotax chose

to be affiliated with? First and last time using turbotax.

Not all of the TurboTax agents are aware of this issue.  If SBTPG overcharged then TurboTax will refund the fees that should not have been charged.
