I am not getting a refund so why would I have to pay a $40 refund processing fee? I owe both federal and state.
If you are not getting a federal refund you are not going to pay a $40 refund processing fee. That fee is only incurred if you are getting a federal refund and choose to pay your TurboTax fees from that refund. You have no refund from which to pay the $40. If you are using a paid version of the TT software, you will have to pay your fees before you can e-file. The tax you owe can be paid by a variety of methods.
