I authorized online payment through Turbo Tax using my bank account. Does that include state or do I have to go to a separate website to pay my state taxes?

In TurboTax, you can pay your IRS taxes directly from your checking or savings account with direct debit.

Here are a few things you should know about direct debit:

• Direct debit is not the same thing as direct deposit.
• You must e-file your return; direct debit in TurboTax isn't available for paper-filers (although we do offer a simple workaround).
• There is no charge for this service.
• The money is withdrawn from your bank account on the date you specify (if filing by the deadline) or when your return is accepted (if filing after the deadline).
• The IRS will withdraw the entire owed amount from your bank account. Direct debit for partial payments isn't available.

In TurboTax, you'll see the payment option Withdraw the money from my bank account when we ask how you want to pay your federal taxes. This is the direct debit option.

We'll also offer the direct debit option for your state return if your state supports it (not all states do).

Did you know? If you already filed your federal return in TurboTax, you can pay the IRS with direct debit through their secure Direct Pay site free of charge.

@KKH1 If you have not filed yet, in the File section of the program on Step 2, when state taxes are owed, you are given several options (depending on your state) how to pay the taxes.

If you have already filed to verify this information, please follow these steps to print or view your TurboTax Electronic Filing Instructions Page. The banking and withdrawal information can also be printed/viewed on your Federal Information Worksheet Part V, and the State Information Worksheet, Part VI.

Follow these steps to view/print your instruction page:

·         Sign back into your TurboTax online account 

·         Scroll down and click "Add a State"  (This is just a way to get you back into your tax return)

·         Next select "Tax Tools" (left column) and then "Print Center"

·         Select "Print, save, or preview this year's return"

·         Check the boxes for your Federal and State returns (this will open further options)

·         Choose to include the government and TurboTax worksheets 

·         Then click "View or Print Forms".

Please see the TurboTax FAQ below for additional information:

What are my options for getting my state refund or for paying any state taxes I owe?
