You can file the return for whatever fees TT charges. And I
doubt it's $100.

That fee is for ~~paying~~ by credit card. If you were to
come to my office and pay me with plastic, I have the honor
of paying the card processing company a fee, of say 3%, so
on a $500 bill, I get to keep $485. The government isn't
going to settle for that, you you have to pay the 3% (or
whatever the fee is) in addition to the tax bill.

They can also, or should also, allow for direct debit, where
the government reaches into your bank account and takes grab
of the amount of your tax liability. For some strange
reason, no one has taken that route that I know of. Maybe
they think the government has big hands....I just don't
know.

I have prepared my taxes, using Turbo Tax. I owe approximately $5,000
to the feds; I wanted to take advantage of the Discover Credit Card
feature whereby no convenience fee is charged to utilize their card.
Alas I am seemingly unable to file, using Turbo Tax, without incurring
a convenience fee imposed by their intermediary filing firm.

Are there any options to file (using Discover which has no convenience
fees) without such outrageous fees? Why would one pay over $100 too
file an electronic return??

Thanks for any advice. My obvious option is to mail my return, with a
check.

Thanks for any advice!!
