How to pay Turbo Tax discounted fee before Feb. 28, 2023 (for 2022 tax return) without filing first.

[virginny]

I would like to pay the  Turbo tax fee before Feb. 28, 2023 to get the discounted price for my 2022 return, but I don't want to file until later. How do I do that?

Because paying for your TurboTax Online fees is separate from e-filing your return, you can pay at any time prior to filing your return.

To pay for TurboTax:

1. Open or continue your return
2. Select File in the menu and then select Start next to Step 1 Review your order
3. Select View payment options
4. Select Pay now(or Pay with Federal Refund, if that option is available) to make your payment

I am only seeing two options, PayPal and Credit Card.  Why not direct payment from checking account?  I don't like the $39 fee they charge for using credit card, etc.  Direct payment from checking is preferred.
