    If you owe tax due, you have to pay it yourself by the filing deadline on April 15, 2025.

     

     

     If you have federal tax due you can pay by mailing your payment with the 1040V voucher, (which has the address printed on it, having the payment taken out of a designated bank account, or you can pay directly on the IRS website.

    You must pay your state tax due using the state’s preferred method of receiving payment.  For most states that will be by making a payment to the state’s own tax website, or by mailing a check or money order.

    When you were in the File section of the TurboTax online edition, on Step 2, when taxes are owed, you were given several options on how to pay the taxes owed.  You could not have filed the tax return without selecting your payment method for the taxes owed.

     

    On the Filing Instructions page for your tax return will be your payment method that you selected.  You will need to use Print Center to get the Filing Instructions page.

     

    To access your current or prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

     

    When you sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page, scroll down and click on Add a state. 

    This will take you back to the 2024 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.  Choose the option Include government and TurboTax worksheets

     

    If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created.  TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.
