You are not required to make your IRS balance due payment through TurboTax. If you are in the filing process and need to pay a Federal balance due, if you wish to do so, you can indicate you are going to pay by check (you won't really do that, but that will let you finish filing.) Then you can go to the IRS Direct Pay website at the link below, and either pay out of your bank account for no fee, or debit/credit card for a fee. Be aware that credit card can have a pretty hefty fee, especially if your tax bill is high. When you fill out the form there, it will ask for "reason" and have a dropdown menu. Choose it's a 1040 payment for "balance due" (or similar words.) I don't remember exactly what it says, and it's currently down for a short while this time of night for routine maintenance.

If you do that, be sure to print out your payment confirmation. And be sure you pay the balance due before the April 15 deadline.
