Payment Step missing

Hi,

I have a silly question, I just filed the 2019 tax and it says 'Federal return accepted'. Will the payment prompt for the federal tax come after that? I used to pay straight through TurboTax but now I am not seeing it. What do I do?

Thanks so much!

If you had taxes owed, in the File section of the program on Step 2 you had to choose how to pay the taxes owed. You could not have completed the File section without making a choice nor would you be able to e-file your tax return without making a choice.

How you chose to pay the federal taxes owed will be on the Federal Filing Instructions page included with your tax return.

Sign onto your TurboTax online account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Scroll down and click on Add a State. This will take you back to the 2019 online tax return.

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen. Then click on Print Center. Then click on Print, save or preview this year's return.

Now I got this e-mail for Turbo Tax:

"Federal Return Accepted - Payment and Voucher Required"

but when I follow the link in the e-mail it simply brings me to the homepage. It sounds like a made a user error along the way and picked manual payment? Is that right?

Sorry, no one here will know how you selected to pay the federal taxes owed. If you follow the procedure to get the Filing Instructions for your tax return you will know what you selected. If you chose to pay the taxes owed with a mailed check, there will be a Payment Voucher, Form 1040-V, included with your tax return. You can write a check and mail the check and voucher to the IRS using the address on the voucher.

Or you can pay the taxes owed directly on the IRS payment website using Direct Pay and then would not have to mail a check or voucher - https://www.irs.gov/payments
