I am trying to e-file my Federal and State tax and when I enter the billing information the screen does not go to the payment information. I need help. Is anyone there?

I am trying to pay by credit card. Can you help me?

Are you trying to pay TurboTax or enter your payment information for federal and state taxes?

Try refreshing the page and perhaps clearing your cache and cookies.

Try this and see if this clears the issue for you.  Please log completely out of TurboTax.  Then, in your browser, please clear your cache and delete your cookies.  After this, close completely out of the browser.  Re-open everything including logging back into TurboTax.  Also, you can try completing your return in a different browser as well.

If you are wanting to efile both federal and state, you will need to pay the filing feel (federal efile is free with Turbo Tax, but there is a fee to file your state return).  If you want to pay with a credit card (rather than the more expensive option of having the filing fee deducted from your federal refund, assuming there is one), you will be routed to a payment screen to enter your credit card information.  Hope this helps.

I am trying to pay my state e-file fee with a credit card and when I fill in all of the credit card information it says it cannot accept this card information, check acct #, expiration date, etc. I've used 2 different cards and says the same thing. Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks.

I have emptied cache and cookies and used another browser and Turbo Tax will not accept any credit card for payment. Says info is not correct. I have tried multiple credit cards.

What address are you using?  You will have to ensure you are utilizing a US address for your credit cards. 

 

For more details on this error, please see the Help Article here.

I have tried all suggestions including those in the HELP Article. when mentioning a US address for my credit cards are you talking about my home address? The addresses for all credit cars are only in CA, USA. I feel like I'm being forced to upgrade to TurboTax Premium to allow the $25 E-File state tax fee to be taken out of my Federal taxes. I don't want to do this. And I don't want to print out my state tax form as it is over 50 pages. I have used TurboTax for many years and have never had this problem. Can I call someone and give them my card information over the phone?
Thank you

I got as far as the billing address screen and then it would do nothing. There was no enter button, no forward or backward arrow nothing. It just stopped. I was not able to get to the screen that asked for credit card info.

Yes, I want to e-file my tax returns but can't because I can't figure out how to pay for filing my California tax return.

I have completed all of your recommendations.

After I enter my payment information, I click on the "Place order" button at bottom of page. The next page says in a reddish box.... "We are having trouble authorizing your credit card. Please check address and information and please try again." I have done this about 50 times in the last few weeks at different times of day. I feel like my California State return is trapped inside the program; this is Turbo Tax online. HELP please.

Try these articles for more resources:

Troubleshoot installation and running TurboTax for Windows.

 

Reasons for additional fees beyond what was paid would be for e-filing or for an extra state download.
