I did my tax returns on TurboTax but I am not able to pay the additional taxes owed. I am unemployed. I need to file. How do I do this on this site?

First of all--it is too early to file a 2017 return and too late to e-file a return for 2016 or any earlier year.  So if you need to file for an earlier year, the return must be printed, signed and mailed.  If you are unable to pay taxes owed, you could request a payment plan from the IRS:

If you still need to file your previous year(s) returns:

Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS received the return.
