If you owe additional taxes to the IRS and you're e-filing, enter your bank account info on the How would you like to pay your federal taxes? screen (choose the first option, direct debit). Direct debit is not an option for paper-filed federal returns.

Thanks. I already filed a few weeks ago, and am trying to determine if I selected direct debit. I always have in the past, but since the amount hasn't come out of my bank account yet, I'm thinking I may have mistakenly NOT selected it. Is there a way to verify what I selected?

Look at the Filing Instructions that would have printed out with your return. The top paragraph will tell you how you wanted to pay the balance due.

You can also preview the instructions using these steps:

TurboTax Online

In the black bar at the left side of your screen, click on TaxTools > Print Center
On the TurboTax Print Center screen, click Print, save or preview this year's return.
On the screen, TurboTax Print Center, select Just my tax returns.
Click on the View or print forms box.
When the print screen comes up the first page should be the filing instructions for your return.

TurboTax CD/Download (Desktop)

Go back into your return.
Click on File > Print
When the Form Selection screen pops up, mark the button for the forms you wish to print.
Click either of the blue boxes--Save as PDF or Preview Print Copy.

You can also view the filing instructions by going into Forms Mode.

Go into Forms Mode by clicking on the Forms icon in the top right of the blue bar.
