Is the pay with refund no longer an options for those who refunds exceeds the charges for use of turbo tax?

@franciekage18 - it will be unavailable for the rest of this year.  I talked to product support at TT and they confirm this.  Hopefully they will post something more official on their website.

The refund processing option has been discontinued for the rest of 2022 for unknown reasons.

So your options are :

1) If your AGI is $73K or less you can start again using one of the totally free programs at the IRS FREE FILE site here :

2) stay with TT  and pay the fees upfront with your credit/debit card.  If you don't have one maybe a family member or friend will help you out.  Or for $5 you can buy a pre paid debit card at almost any major store, put just  enough on the card needed to pay the TT fees and register the card online using a US based address.  Then you can use the debit card to get the refunds direct deposited to ... check with the debit card bank for the correct routing & bank account numbers  for your debit card account ... it will NOT be the number on the card.

3) find another way to file ... the IRS has fill in the blank forms that you can mail in (check with your state for their forms).    https://www.irs.gov/forms-instructions
