Paying Your TaxAct Filing Fee From Your Refund
1
If you are receiving a refund of $100 or more there are various options to pay your TaxACT product and/or e-filing fees. In order to see all the available options in TaxACT, you will be prompted for your consent.  An additional charge will apply when choosing to pay your TaxACT fees from your tax refund.

Within the electronic filing steps for your return, after you consent to viewing all payment options, you can choose to receive your refund via Direct Deposit, PayPower Card, or by a paper check sent to you in the mail.
