I set up an auto withdrawal for my federal taxes. It was supposed to come out yesterday. Can you please look into why this didn't happen?

We don't have access to your records in this public forum. Keep an eye on your bank account. If you still don't see the debit within 7–10 days call the IRS E-file Payment Services. For more info please click the link below.

I too am a bit surprised that the IRS has not yet debited my bank account yet with my payment.  I sucessfully e-filed on Sunday 3/29 and it was accepted that evening.  I scheduled the payment from 3/30 onward.  I have been monitoring my bank account balance and yet nothing so far.  I double checked the routing and account numbers on the e-file and they are correct.  Normally when I make estimated quarterly payments they get scheduled the next day.  It's a bit odd that the IRS is taking it's time collecting my balance due.

Mine was supposed to be paid on 3/31/2020 and it still hasn't been taken out of my bank account (today is 4/7/2020).  Someone at Turbo Tax needs to take a look at this since it looks like it's happening to a lot of us.  It would be easier for a Turbo Tax person to call someone at the IRS than all of us having to do it.

How do I contact the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)? https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3301592

If you call the IRS by phone at [phone number removed], don't expect them to answer.  They have an automated message reporting that they are under reduce staff and are not accepting phone calls (likely due to the COVID-19 shut down).  They refer to using to the online tools to contact them. 

 

It's now been 10 days since I filed and elected to make my tax payment via withdraw from my bank account and they have non deducted it yet as of 4/8/2020.   Obviously the reduced staff is impacting their ability to process incoming payments and I doubt they have staff able to do the job from a work from home scenario.

I submitted my payment via TurboTax / electronically on 3/31 and the debit was just posted to my account today (4/13) by the IRS.

 

Based on other comments in this thread, this 10 to 14 day delay is the "new normal" -- for the present at least.

Yes, our payment is going to be deducted from our checking account today (April 13).  It was supposed to have been taken out on March 31.
