e-filing but cannot pay with debit card
Hello,
I'm e-filing my taxes but I can't pay my Federal taxes with my debit card.
For some reason I keep getting this message: "The direct debit option is not available to you."
I had no problem paying online last year and nothing has changed this year. What should I do?
A bit of background; I'm overseas and have been all year. My wife is self employed and thus has to pay taxes on her income while I do not (because it's below the threshold). We are trying to make sure that our taxes are deducted via direct deposit so that our stimulus checks can be deposited into our American bank account. The IRS website won't allow me to create an account with them for some reason and keep directing me back to my 'tax preparation software' which is TurboTax. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The last stimulus check took literal months to arrive and we didn't see the money till late November. Please advise.
