Federal tax owed was supposed to come out of my bank account and it hasn't happened yet. How long after I file does it take for the IRS to debit the money?

As long as your return has been accepted by the IRS, funds are usually withdrawn on the payment date you specified (allow 24-48 hours for peak times and weekends).

To double check the date you specified and payment method, you can check the Filing Instructions document (or Electronic Filing Instructions document), which prints out as part of your tax return paperwork. Your chosen tax payment method will display at the top of the page, in the Balance Due/Refund section.

  •  For direct debit, you'll also see the amount, routing and account numbers, and withdrawal date.
  • For credit card, you'll see a message that you chose to pay by credit card, but we won't display your credit info on this document.
  • For check payment, you'll get instructions on how to fill out the check, where to mail it, and anything else you may need to include with your check.

  • For installments, you'll see the statement you've elected to pay your balance due in installments along with additional information.

If you still don't see the debit 7-10 days after your return has been accepted or after the payment date you specified, call IRS e-file Payment Services at 1-888-353-4537 or contact your state tax agency, as appropriate.
