After you file

I am about to file my taxes and I live in Texas.

I understand that the deadline to file/pay is Jul 15. I owe some taxes for 2020 and I intend to pay them today using directPay from IRS website.

 

I have the following questions:

a) In turbo tax, for "How would you like to pay your federal taxes?" do I simply select "Pay by check" and go ahead and file. After that I do a directPay for that balance amount. Does this sound ok?

b) Will IRS automatically consider that I live in Texas and not levy penalties for this payment? Or do I need to specify somewhere about this (either in turboTax or in IRS website)?

 

Thank you for taking the time.
