When I print forms it is telling me to pay by check, why? Can't I pay through Turbo Tax?

I haven't finished my taxes yet but I went to the print center to get an idea of how things looked on my forms and it is telling me I owe money and will pay by check. Can't  I pay through Turbo Tax if I owe anything? Will it give me the option to pay through Turbo Tax when I actually submit?

Yes, you will be able to pay by direct debit, check, or credit card when you go to e-file your return.  Since you printed your return out the program thinks you are going to mail in your return.  When you mail in a return you include a check for the amount you owe (or can pay on the IRS or State websites).
