Delay scheduled ETF payment to IRS for accepted return

I completed my federal return two weeks ago and filed it.  It was accepted.  At the time of filing I authorized payment of what I owe as a direct withdrawal from my checking account with a withdrawal date of April 13.  Now that the government has moved the filing deadline to July 15, I wish to modify the payment date to July.  How can I do that?

You do NOT need to file an extension since you have already filed ... what you want to do is delay the balance due payment you set up in the IRS system ... this is quick and easy to do ... have your payment information in hand and call ...

 

  • Once your return is accepted, information pertaining to your payment, such as account information, payment date, or amount, cannot be changed. If changes are needed, the only option is to cancel the payment and choose another payment method.
  • Call IRS e-file Payment Services 24/7 at 1-888-353-4537 to inquire 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.

If you e-filed your 2019 tax return with a payment for the federal taxes owed then the payment will have to be canceled if you want to change the payment date.

 

You will have to cancel the payment and then pay the federal taxes owed on the IRS payment website on or before July 15, 2020.
