So I was trying to file my taxes last night with TurboTax and found that if you owe, you can only pay using a Discover credit card (WTF??). Can anyone tell me if TaxCut allows you to use a different card? Because I have to pay this year, I'd love to get some skymiles out of this...

Or can anyone recommend a filing option online that will accomodate another credit card?

Thanks!

How? The only options I see are Discover, Direct Debit, and Check.

That's what I saw. I'd be very interested in seeing how wreks used VISA.

TaxCut offered a full range of credit cards.

I find it a better designed program than TurboTax, but very sluggish on OS X, and not without its share of bugs.

I found that this year, TaxCut was at least as good as TurboTax. First time I ever used it. Been using MacinTax or TurboTax for Mac for the last 10 years or so..

I can't get back to the page now. But there was just a radio button I click below discover and I entered in my CC number. Maybe it's because I didn't owe anything?

i dunno. but I guess it's too late now.

Ahh...that was probably the option for e-filing your return. TurboTax will take any CC for that, but if you want to actually pay your taxes, you have to use Discover.

lookmark, thanks for the information on TaxCut. While a day to late (my own bloody fault for waiting so long!) good info for the future.

I took a quick look at H&R Block's online service this year, after I'd already been using TurboTax for Web for awhile. It looks rather nice, and doesn't have the display glitches that made using TurboTax sorta nasty.
