Why am I being charged to file my Federal taxes?

To view what you were charged for:

Gog into TurboTax

1. On the left sidebar toward the bottom
2. Click Intuit Account
3. A screen with boxes will show up
4. From the left sidebar
5. Select Products and Billing

To use this payment with my refund 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.

When the IRS processes your return, the bank that handles the transaction charges a $40 processing fee.
