is the fee being taken out of the refund?  TT charges for that.  It's $44 in CA as I recall.

Ryes if you want the fees deducted from your refund there is an Extra $40 Refund Processing Service charge (45 in California) plus any sales tax.  You can avoid the extra charge by paying with a credit card.

Did you happen to add-on the optional MAX Benefits (Audit Defense and identity services?)   If so, that can be removed prior to paying.  We can tell you how.

 

If not, did you choose to pay the fees out of your Federal refund?   If so, then see if one of the following scenarios is your situation, depending on what state you are in.

 

If you are not in California, there is a 39.99 service fee if you choose to pay your fees out of the Federal refund.   You can avoid that by paying upfront with credit/debit card.

If you wish, here's how to remove it (if you are NOT in California) :

If you are in California and chose to pay the fees out of the refund, it will require you purchase Premium Services at 44.99.    You can remove Premium Services and then pay upfront with credit/debit card to avoid the extra fee.
