Filing with Turbotax

After filing with Turbotax, do I need to pay Turbotax right away for the turbotax fees? If so, can I use credit card? As a side note, I haven't filed yet, but I'm thinking that I owe money this year and so if I remember correctly from filing with Turbotax in the prior years, that I need to provide them with my checking account number so that they can take the money and give it to the IRS. but how about the fee that I owe Turbotax? do I need to use checking account? or can I use credit card?

 

Reason why I'm asking this is because I know that I owe the IRS by April 15th, but wasn't sure if I owe Turbotax by April 15th as well or if I have to pay Turbotax right after filing with them

If you are not using the TurboTax Free online edition, then you will have to pay the TurboTax online account fees with a credit card before you can either e-file your tax return or print your tax return for mailing.

Paying the TurboTax account fees is in the File section of the program on Step 1.

@DoninGA thank you! Wait, so I'm using the "do your own taxes" version that costs $129. So does that mean that right after I'm done filing today, I have to pay $129 to Turbotax? Can I do it by credit card? or does it have to be checking account

@melissaforpeace315 No, you have to pay the TurboTax account fees before you file your tax return and payment is by credit card.

As stated, that will be in the File section of the program on Step1.
