You can e-file the return yet. the payment form does not need to be mailed

Just say on it that you will mail a check.

If you are paying on the IRS website, you do not mail a check at all. That's just the way to get the efile of the tax return to work.

Can you pay directly via IRS.gov?

Can you pay directly via IRS.gov?

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

Do you have to pay first and then e-file?

jmhonermann — Sat, 08 Jun 2019 00:30:27 GMT

Do you have to pay first and then e-file?

You can do it in either order.

I'm confused. TurboTax won't let you e-file without selecting a payment option. What option are we supposed to select if we direct pay via the IRS website?

Matt30 — Sat, 08 Jun 2019 00:30:38 GMT

FWIW, I ended up selecting "Mail a check" in my payment option, paying via the IRS Direct Pay site, and completing my e-filing. I believe this is what's being suggested above.

Definitely pretty lame of TurboTax not to make this clearer.

Oh, and the "live help" I paid for was of course not an available option, and instead just redirected me to search this forum.

Same question (or, it seems, complaint at this point) as others. Did all the TurboTax and specified 4/15/2019 as pay date. Then forced to change it to 4/16/2019 at the last screen in order to file. The page says something like "you have to indicate a day at least one day in the future" AND "choose 4/15 or earlier to avoid penalties …" So, filing and paying through TurboTax is really only possible through 4/14, apparently.

An answer for TurboTax help to just not use TurboTax is not helpful.

"FWIW, I ended up selecting "Mail a check" in my payment option, paying via the IRS Direct Pay site, and completing my e-filing. I believe this is what's being suggested above."

Thanks, Matt. That sounds like the answer if anyone hasn't just punted and selected 4/16. Unfortunately, that's what I did. It was essentially the LAST screen in the process.

Anyone know if it is possible to cancel the TurboTax direct pay (in order to use the functional IRS site)? All the searches I do seem to indicate it is not possible (although this question is not directly answered anywhere).
