Is the turbotax charge for credit card payments of taxes still 2.5%? I have been a customer for years and am wondering if it's still that high

[AnthonyC · Accepted solution]

Yes, but its not actually TurboTax that sets the processing fees.  There is an additional charge set by the IRS processing services when you choose an integrated e-file and pay option compared to paying the IRS directly through Direct Pay.

For a lower rate, choose to make payments through Direct Pay -
