How can I file taxes without TurboTax wanting payment?

Yes, you can absolutely file your tax return using TurboTax without making a tax payment at the same time.

 

To file your return without immediate payment, you will navigate to the "File" section of the TurboTax software. 

Step 1:  you will first need to pay the fee for the TurboTax program itself. After completing this step, you can move to Step 2 to pay taxes.

 

Step 2: When prompted for payment of your taxes, look for options such as:

  • "I'll mail a check": This option allows you to send a physical check directly to the IRS. TurboTax will provide a payment voucher with the correct mailing address.

  • "Set up a payment plan": This option is for taxpayers who need to pay off their tax debt over time. TurboTax can guide you through the process of applying for a payment plan with the IRS.

Select installment plan option & proceed to Step 3 & complete filing.

 

Once your return is accepted, then you would go to https://www.irs.gov/payments/payment-plans-installment-agreements and set up the plan with the IRS.
