Hello Glen. The $40 charge you encountered is most likely the Refund Processing Service fee. It occurs if you select the Pay With My Refund option; a third-party bank charges this fee to handle the transaction, regardless of whether your TurboTax software was free through your bundle. To avoid this, you must pay any remaining balance by credit card.

 

If you are certain you are on the Tax Bundle and were charged for the software itself, it usually means your accounts are not properly linked. In that case, please contact the QuickBooks Self-Employed Live Support team before paying, as they can provide a unique service code to waive the software fees.
