We owe approximately 1200 dollars in IRS fees for being uninsured in the year of 2018 and about 150 in federal taxes. How do just pay the federal taxes and not fees?

Just need to know how to only pay the taxes owed and not the IRS fees for being uninsured for part of the year. We plan to just have that deducted from returns the next year if possible.

Unfortunately, if you owe a repayment of the Premium Tax Credit, you can't pay that separately from any other tax reported on Form 1040.

Please see the TurboTax FAQ "What if I can't pay my taxes?" below for possible options.

Oh so we already got the credit during the year? I thought this was just a fee for not being insured. But its actually a credit towards our taxes and now we owe it back for not being insured?

It depends -- it can cut either way, you owing or getting back (or rarely, no effect).  In your return in TurboTax, you may have generated a Form 8962 when you answered the health insurance questions.  You can find this by going to "Forms" mode, then clicking the Form 8962 icon.  Alternatively, you might have created Form 8965 if you indicated that you were exempt from health care.  You can find Form 8965 in forms mode too, if it generated.
