Can I pay my credit card filing fee separately from my tax payment?

You have to.  Your TurboTax fees are paid to TurboTax.  If you have tax due then you pay the IRS or state what you owe.

To pay your tax due to the IRS and/or state:

  If you have federal tax due you can pay by mailing your payment with the 1040V voucher, having the payment taken out of a designated bank account, or you can pay directly on the IRS website.

You must pay your state tax due using the state’s preferred method of receiving payment.  For most states that will be by making a payment to the state’s own tax website, or by mailing a check or money order.
