I have just finished filing my Federal taxes. What are the instructions to send the total tax due? Do I have to wait till my federal return is accepted?

You can verify the tax payment method you chose on the Electronic Filing Instructions for your 2019 Federal Tax Return page, next to Balance Due/Refund.

  1. Open your return if it isn't already open.
  2. On the [Your name], your 2019 federal return was accepted! screen, scroll down and select Add a State (don't worry, we're not adding a state) to access your tax forms and worksheets.
  3. In the left menu select Tax Tools then Print Center.
  4. On the TurboTax Print Center screen, select Print, save or preview this year's return.
  5. On the next TurboTax Print Center screen, select 2019 federal returns and Include government and TurboTax worksheets (optional) then select View or print forms.
  6. The information will be on the first page, Electronic Filing Instructions for your 2019 Federal Tax Return next to Balance Due/Refund.

There are several different ways to pay your tax bill in TurboTax.

If you already filed your return with the IRS, choose a payment option through the IRS instead of trying to pay through TurboTax.
