Ineligible to use refund

Been trying for almost 2 weeks now to use my refund to pay to file and it keeps saying I'm ineligible. Doesn't give any reason why. I have filed with y'all the last 13 years and this is ridiculous and frustrating.

Here are some of the reasons why you may be considered ineligible to pay with your refund:

From TurboTax - Can I pay with my refund?

To use this payment option:

Your federal or state (if applicable) refund must be enough to cover your TurboTax fees.

You must have a US address.

You have to e-file.

The name on the bank account needs to match the name on the tax return.

You'll need to direct deposit your refund into a single account.

Otherwise, you can try troubleshooting with TurboTax Online.

Is there a different, or more specific error message that you're seeing?
