Turbo Tax asks me if I want to send a check to IRS? Can I just pay by my card?

I filed an extension and I am at the final step and then Turbo tax says "mail a check" or "request an installment plan"....Can't I just send in my tax return showning the amount due but pay today by my card online one one of those tax sites?

 

Thanks!

 

Or do I have to send in a paper check?

Yes you can pay however you want.  Just say you will mail a check and then pay online.  You don't have to mail a check.  

 

Pay the IRS directly at
https://www.irs.gov/payments

Thanks! Do I still send in the return to the same location? Or do I send it to another location? Thanks!

Turbo Tax should say on the cover page where to mail.

Thanks! I'm in Florida so I was just trying to figure out if I should send it to the address turbo tax requests. But on the main IRS site it says without a payment send to Austin instead not North Carolina.

 

So payment is due on my return but since I'm paying online I didn't know if I should still send it to Austin or North Carolina? 

 

Thanks!
