There are several situations where you won't be able to use the Pay With My Refund service, including:
- You're filing a paper return
- You don't have a federal refund
- Your federal refund isn't enough to cover the fees
- You're filing with a foreign address
- Form 8888 is in your return
- You already used the service when you initially e-filed your federal return
- You already filed your federal return and are now only filing your state return
Actually, it's better to pay your TurboTax fees directly. It saves you money (eliminates the middleman), plus hassle later if there's an issue with your Refund.
If you put cash on a temporary card, you can use it to pay TurboTax and avoid the 'Pay With My Refund' issues.
