Did you qualify? This is the list of requirements to qualify for the Refund Processing. Requirements You'll need to e-file your federal return; it's not available if you paper-file the federal. The Refund Processing option only appears if you have a federal tax refund, and you can only deduct your fees from your federal (not state) refund. You'll need to direct-deposit your refund into a single account, and the name on the bank account needs to match the name on the tax return. Refund Processing can only be used once to pay your fees.

I qualify for all these requirements and it still won’t let me pay with my refund. My refund this year is $90 and it’s $49 for filing. I don’t understand.

If your federal refund is only $90 and your TurboTax fees are $49, then you cannot use pay with refund. There is an extra refund processing fee of $40 ($45 in CA) to use refund processing. You will need to pay your TurboTax fees upfront using a credit or debit card.

How can I see my TurboTax fees?
