Turbo tax e-file payment due not showing IRS Direct pay option

[BarLee7]

How can I e-file final federal return using IRS direct pay.  Is Trubo Tax credit card service the only Credit card option?

You can go directly to the IRS site to pay your federal tax due without involving TurboTax.

But what option at payment screen do I choose to e-file.  Do I choose check, since choosing credit card will direct me only to Turbo tax's payment service which is a higher cost.

You can pay by direct debit from your bank account.

Yes, Yes, but I want to pay by credit card and unless I use Turbo Tax Credit card processor, it will not e-file my return.  So i cannot see how to efile the return and use the govt direct payment site to use credit card option.  It is turbo tax using a higher priced outside credit processor that is the issue if I want to efile.

In this situation just select you will be mailing a check and then complete the filing of your tax return.  Just do not mail a check if you are paying by credit card on the IRS website.
