No that is not true. You can pay the Georgia state taxes owed using tax preparation software such as TurboTax by direct debit from a bank account.
That is why the option to pay the state taxes owed by direct debit exists in the TurboTax program for the state of Georgia. If the state of Georgia did not allow tax preparation software to use direct debit for taxes owed, that option would not be in the software.
There are many states that do not allow direct debit of state taxes owed through tax preparation software. Those states require the taxpayer to go to the state Department of Revenue website to pay by direct debit.
