I am in an online python class and am failing badly. I am not sure where
the problem is here but any insight would be great.

When posting always include the full error text since
it usually helps locate the precise location more clearly
than a verbal description or summary.

def main():
   while (True):

How do you intend to exit?
I don't see any return or break statements?
But thats not the immediate issue....

allowed = int(input("Please enter minutes allowed between 100 and
700: "))
       used = int(input("How many minutes were used: "))
       totalOver = used - allowed
       totalDue = (64.95 + (0.15*totalOver))
       if(totalOver > 0):
           print("You were over your minutes by " + str(totalOver))

You don;t need to call str() because print can do that for you.
All you need is:

print("You were over your minutes by ", totalOver)

       else:
           totalOver = 0
           print("You were not over your minutes for the month")
           print ("Do you want to end program? Enter yes or no:")
           toEnd = raw_input()

Most of the code looks like Python v3 but this line is from Pyhon v2...
raw_input has been replaced by input() in v3.
However, that should generate a NameError not a SyntaxError.

           if toEnd == "yes":
               print("MONTHLY USE REPORT")
               print("Minutes allowed were " + str(allowed))
               print("Minutes used were " + str(used))
               print("Minutes over were " + str(totalOver))
               print("Total due is $ " + str(totalDue(totalOver))

I keep getting a syntax error in a blank line at the bottom. I have tried
to end it with main() but it errors on the main as well?

The only probblem that jumps out at me is the raw_input()
but that would not be a syntax error...

HTH,
