When you file your federal tax return with TaxSlayer, you'll be asked to choose a payment method before you submit your return. The available payment options may vary depending on the products and services you selected.
Common ways to pay TaxSlayer filing fees include:
- Credit card
- Debit card
- Bank account (electronic payment)
- Deducting eligible fees from your federal refund, if available
If you're using a paid TaxSlayer product, you'll review your fees and select a payment method during the filing process.
How to Pay Your Filing Fees
- Complete your tax return.
- Continue through the filing steps until you reach the payment section.
- Review any filing fees and optional services you've selected.
- Choose your preferred payment method.
- Enter the required payment information.
- Submit your return after your payment has been authorized.
Can I Pay My Fees With My Tax Refund?
In some situations, you may be able to have eligible filing fees deducted directly from your federal refund (File & Go) instead of paying upfront. If this option is available for your return, you'll see it during checkout.
Keep in mind that:
- Additional processing fees may apply.
- The IRS must approve your refund before funds become available.
- If your refund is reduced or delayed, other payment arrangements may be required.
What If My Payment Is Declined?
If your payment isn't approved:
- Double-check your card or bank account information.
- Confirm that sufficient funds are available.
- Contact your financial institution if the issue continues.
- Return to the payment screen and enter updated payment information.
Your return generally can't be transmitted until any required filing fees have been successfully paid or another eligible payment option has been selected.
Need to Review Your Fees?
Before filing, TaxSlayer displays a summary of all charges associated with your return. Review this screen carefully so you understand exactly what you're paying for and how your fees will be collected.
