What did you have to pay (IRS taxes due, State taxes due)? If you have to pay State taxes, what State do you live in?
If you have already e-filed you can't change your payment method through TurboTax. However, you can call the IRS Payment Services at 1-888-353-4537 to inquire about your payment and request to change the payment method. You can also pay your Federal balance with your credit or debit card on their website.
Here's a link to the IRS website
for more information about payments: https://www.irs.gov/payments
Is there a penalty/fee or anything if your original payment method (the one listed on your tax return) is closed, even if you have already paid your tax liability on the IRS website in advance?
It depends.
As long as you have paid your tax liability, you should not have any issues.
You can also refer to the following link for an updated status on your account.

Once a tax return has been filed you cannot change the bank information for a direct deposit. If the bank information is not correct the bank will reject the tax refund and send the refund back to the IRS. The IRS will send the refund as a check in the mail to the address on the tax return.
If you have not filed your tax return, in the File section of the program on Step 2 you can change the bank routing and account information.
After your tax return is filed, you cannot change the bank information for a direct deposit. If the bank information is not correct the bank will send the refund back to the IRS. The IRS will then issue a check and mail it to the address on the tax return.

Please refer to the following article below to change your refund method. Please note, if you already filed, you cannot change your refund method. The IRS will issue a paper check mailed to your address on file.

You have a problem----you need to change your address with the IRS. When your refund goes to a closed account it will be sent back to the IRS and then the IRS will mail a check to the address on your tax return.

You cannot change banking information while your return is in pending, nor can you change it after the return is accepted.
If you e-filed:
Banking information for direct deposit is wrong
If you entered incorrect banking information for your refund, you can change it if your return is rejected. If it is accepted, however, it is too late to change it. The bank will reject the refund and send it back to the IRS. Then the IRS will issue a paper check and mail it to the address you put on your tax return. Expect a delay of at least a couple of weeks to receive your refund.

If you have taxes owed and paid the taxes by direct debit then go to this IRS website for information on paying the taxes owed if your bank account has changed for the direct debit - https://www.irs.gov/payments/pay-taxes-by-electronic-funds-withdrawal

If you have already filed the federal tax return, read the answer directly above your post.
Can I change the payment method from "tax return" to "credit card'? I didn't know that if you choose the first option they charge you extra $40.
Any tip?

How do I remove Pay With My Refund fees in TurboTax Online and change my payment method?
Hi Michelle,
Thank you for the link. Before commenting I did some research and know about the simple way to change the payment method. However, there should be some other way for the different situation like "once your tax return is accepted". TurboTax charges already a lot! And I don't understand what I'm paying for if I don't receive any service while I'm trying to resolve this issue?! Once I receive my tax return and I'll be charged with all the fees, why do I need TurboTax afterwards?!
First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control. TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.
You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount (line 35a of your 2021 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.

OR——if you filed by mail, expect a long wait. It is taking the very backlogged IRS six to nine months to process mailed returns. Until a human opens your envelope and enters the data into the system, nothing will even show up on the refund site, so you will have to be very patient.
