Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I can't afford to pay what they are asking me to pay on the spot. Is there a way I can pay later and still file my taxes?

No.    TurboTax does not set up "payment plans" for you to pay for the use of the software.

How can I see my TurboTax  fees?

If your TurboTax fees are higher than expected, you can reduce them by removing add-ons     (BEFORE you e-file) :

 

 

 

Or—-Use this IRS site for other ways to file for free.  There are 8  free software versions available from the IRS Free File site

Or—if you live in certain states you may be eligible to use the new IRS Direct File

 

 

In Filing Season 2025, Direct File will be available in Alaska, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

And....take note that the deadline to e-file your 2024 return is October 15, 2025.   If you do not e-file by that date, the return will have to be filed by mail instead.
