I owe tax, how does it get paid? And can I still file electronically?

I've never owed taxes before. What are the steps once I'm ready to file?

See this TurboTax support FAQ for how to pay the taxes owed - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/internal-revenue-service/pay-federal-taxes/L6HFgj2eJ_US_en_US?uid=m6idce7r

 

In the File section of the program on Step 2, when taxes are owed you will have options on how to pay the taxes.

 If you have federal tax due you can pay by mailing your payment with the 1040V voucher, (which has the address printed on it, having the payment taken out of a designated bank account, or you can pay directly on the IRS website.

You must pay your state tax due using the state’s preferred method of receiving payment.  For most states that will be by making a payment to the state’s own tax website, or by mailing a check or money order.
