Sorry---it does not work that way and there is no way to "pay $250 right away" to get to a human. This is the public user forum. You cannot submit payments for anything here. Volunteers and other users reply to tax and software questions here.
Like everyone else, you need to contact customer support or if you have TurboTax Live you can contact your live tax expert.
