Direct Deposit
If you choose to receive your tax refund via direct bank deposit, your expected tax refund will be electronically transferred from the IRS (US Treasury) to the bank account you entered during your online tax return at efile.com. This transfer is free of charge. To find out more about the status of your tax refund, please visit: http://www.efile.com/my-tax-refund-status
Direct Deposit with Deduct Fee from Refund
If you use eFile Premium, you can have your preparation fee automatically deducted from your refund. Your expected tax refund will be transferred from the IRS to eFile's e-Collect partner, EPS Financial, and then to your bank minus the Premium service's tax preparation fee. A DFFR (Deduct Fee From Refund) fee of only $10.00 will be charged for this service. This fee is charged by EPS Financial, not by efile.com and is automatically deducted from your expected tax refund.
