I owe money after amended tax return, how long will it take for money to be taken out of account?

Did you pay using direct pay or did you send a check with your amended return?

The amount owed will be taken once the IRS processes your return and this is input into the system.

Thank you. I used direct pay. My amended return has been accepted and I was hoping the $ would be taken out of my account immediately. Do you know about how long it normally takes for them to take the funds out of my account?

Amended returns are currently taking more than 20 weeks to complete processing, and your payment will not be processed until this time.
