I help my mom do her taxes with Turbo, and I had just noticed this charge on her card bill. She owed over $3,000.00, so she was charged $93.00. I thought it was only a fee of $3.95. I will have to think about it next time. It’s ridiculous. It is simple to do the taxes on Turbo.
The Credit Card fees were displayed although they are at the bottom of the screen in small print.
A convenience fee of 2.49% of total amount you owe will be charged by our credit card service provider. There is a minimum convenience fee of $3.95 regardless of your IRS payment obligation..
All the third party processors used by the IRS when paying by credit or debit card also have convenience fees.
