I set my tax owed to be drafted from my bank account on April 1st. Today, is April 4th and the draft has still not happened. I have checked and re-checked the bank routing number and account number for accuracy and they are correct. In the past, the draft has always taken place the day I selected. Is there an issue?

Was this for your state or federal return? Unfortunately, we cannot check on the status of the payment because the payments are processed by either the IRS or your states' Department of Revenue. You will need to contact the corresponding agency to check on the status of the payment. Currently, the IRS phone systems are down. If you would like to contact your states' Department of Revenue, please click here for a list of states and their respective contact information.

Thanks for the response. This is about my Federal return. So far, the money still hasn't been taken out of my bank account (today is 4/7) and I had set it up to be taken out 4/1. So it sounds like it is the IRS who actually initiates the process for the transaction to occur and not Turbotax?

I guess I will have to call the IRS to see why my bank account has not been drafted for my payment but as you say, the phone lines are down.

Yes, I'm sorry, as BrandiLO stated above, only the IRS would be able to answer that.

During non-peak times, funds are usually withdrawn on the payment date you specify, assuming your e-filed return has already been accepted (received) by the IRS.

If that date happens to fall on a weekend or federal holiday, the funds are typically withdrawn the next business day.

Please see the TurboTax FAQ below for more information:

When will my tax payment go through?
