The additional charge is only if you opt to pay with your refund
since it requires using a third party to process your refund. You can pay
with a credit or debit card to avoid this charge.
Note: Direct deposit to a bank account does not have an
additional charge.
Please see the article below to remove the Refund Processing Service.
