In TurboTax Online, the fees are for the federal and state tax preparation programs.  These fees apply whether you e-file your returns or mail them.

I can also use the free version to file by mail. I choose to pay for e-file because I think it is worth the money.

If you can not guarantee please remind me before my payment.

I was advised by my friend to use turbotax because you can e-file which makes the return much faster.    

Actually It was quite disappointing when you paid money without making anything simpler! 

Anyway, thanks for your reply.

There is no  fee to efile.  Efiling is free and included.  You must have needed to upgrade for another reason.

 

Check your emails.  It says why it Rejected.  A common reason is for the wrong 2018 AGI.  


When did you file 2018? If it was late in the year try putting in zero for the AGI. And see, https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/rejections/help/what-if-i-entered-the-correct-agi-and-i-m-still-getting-an-e-file-reject/00/27031

If your spouse died during 2019 there is a problem efiling and you will have to mail your return

If you can’t get it to efile you will have to print and mail it.

Be sure to attach copies of your W2s and any 1099s that have withholding on them.  You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places.  Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing.

It seems not meet some request by IRS for e-file. I can not remember the detailed points.

Can you see my record in this account?
