Can I pay with my refund?

You can use your federal refund to pay your TurboTax fees.

When the IRS processes your return, the bank that handles the transaction charges a $40 processing fee. If your return is rejected, you may need to re-enter your bank account information, but you won't be charged again.

When you get a federal or state refund, we'll deduct our fees from the one that arrives first and is big enough to cover your total TurboTax fees.

To use this payment option:

• Your federal refund must be enough to cover your TurboTax fees.
• You must have a US address.
• You have to e-file.
• The name on the bank account needs to match the name on the tax return.
• You'll need to direct deposit your refund into a single account. 

Note: If your TurboTax navigation looks different from what’s described here, learn more.
