When will I be able to file and pay using my Federal tax money?

You can currently file your return now, but there are certain stipulations in order to be able to deduct your fees from your return.

We offer the option to deduct your TurboTax fees from your federal (not state) refund. This option is called Refund Processing.

To qualify for this payment option, your federal refund must be sufficient to cover your TurboTax fees, you'll need to e-file, your address cannot be foreign, and Form 8888 can't be on your return.

1. With your return open, select File from the side menu and proceed to the Just a few steps left screen.
2. On this screen, select Start here or Revisit for the first step.
3. Choose Select Payment Method on the next screen, and then Pay with your federal refund on the screen after that.
