I files 3 weeks ago, I owe taxes and set date to pay as April 15th. How do I now delay my scheduled payment until July?

Once you file it cannot be changed.

[ee-ea · Accepted solution]

If you have already filed and it's been accepted, you cannot change the date.   You can cancel it, however, and then pay by some other method, such as by check, or paying electronically at the IRS website, etc.  IRS Direct Pay at their website allows you to pay directly out of your bank account, and it's free.  Here's the link to IRS Direct Pay:
https://www.irs.gov/Payments

The IRS website says:

"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."

To cancel your payment you can go to the IRS website linked above.  Scroll down to "Cancellations, Errors and Questions."
It will tell you how to phone "IRS efile Payment Services" and cancel.

It says to wait 7-10 days after it's accepted before you call.

What about now that the IRS has extended the date for payment?  Can you now go in and change the date of your payment or do you still have to cancel the payment and schedule a new payment?

Evidently so as all of these questions were asked yesterday with respect to the new filing deadline.  So we are penalized for filing early :(

I just went to their website and there is a phone number to call, it is all automated and I had my payment canceled in about 3 minutes. you need the amount of your payment and your bank account number where the EFT was coming from.  Pretty easy.

The standard answer is garbage.

i called the IRS and after multiple transfers they stated they couldn’t see my scheduled withdrawal although it was accepted on Feb 12.

irs stated to try calling them back after April 1 to see if TurboTax transmitted the withdrawal information

Thank you Thomas for the update.  Just as I suspected.  As already stated punished for filing early.  I was dreading calling the IRS.
