pay with federal return what does it pay?

The pay with federal tax refund option pays the TurboTax online account fees which were shown to you in the File section of the program on Step 1 when you were shown your Order Summary.

But there is an Extra $40 Refund Processing Service charge (45 in California) to have the fees deducted from your federal refund.  So try to pay with a credit card to avoid the extra service charge.
