Will TTax repeat its practice of charging customers to have their return direct deposited, like last year?

[VolvoGirl]

You misunderstood.  There is no charge to get Direct Deposit.  The extra $40 charge was to have the fees deducted from a federal refund.  You can avoid that charge by paying the fees upfront with a credit card.  Then your refund goes directly from the IRS to your bank account and not through the 3rd party bank to take the fees out.

There is no fee to have your refund direct deposited.  There is a "refund processing fee" of $40 (or $45 in CA) if you choose to pay your TurboTax fees by having the fees deducted from your federal refund.  Avoid that fee.  Pay the TT fees upfront by using your own credit or debit card BEFORE you file the return.
