Hi there, I filed on FreeTaxUSA and owed a big federal chunk. I've used this site for the last few years and never had this problem (although I never owed anything until last two years). I entered card info, and received an email confirmation that says "receipt of payment." I see the charge on my card for the e-file fee, but not the federal amount owed that I supposedly paid already. Worried I didn't actually pay, and worried about what happens if I enter payment twice. Thanks!

    Hi Flat_baby,

    The software will not be updated with your payment. If you owe, the software will always show that owed amount. It is not updated when you pay. Does that make sense?
