Question

I already filed my tax return, with a direct debit scheduled for April 15th. I would like to delay my direct debit. What steps are necessary to do this?

To be clear, I am doing this because the WH just announced that the tax deadline will be extended.  Can TurboTax help?  The IRS?  The EFTPS?

TO CANCEL A TAX PAYMENT YOU SCHEDULED

 

If your return was accepted, you cannot change your payment method  or payment date.  The only thing you can do is cancel the payment and then pay by a different method on your own.

 

  • Call IRS e-file Payment Services 24/7 at 1-888-353-4537 to ask about or cancel your payment, but please wait 7 to 10 days after your return was accepted before calling.
  • Cancellation requests must be received no later than 11:59 p.m. ET two business days prior to the scheduled payment date.

Isn't that the number for the EFTPS?

I gave them a call, and they said that if you filed through TurboTax, then that was through the IRS, not them.  Is that incorrect?
