You do not mention the method of payment you used to pay your federal tax. Your proof that you paid will be your own bank or credit card records. Do you have a cancelled check, or does your bank or credit card statement show that the IRS debited your account? If you entered information for the IRS to take the payment out of your account, TurboTax only passes that information along to the IRS; TurboTax does not make the payment. It is up to the IRS to take out the payment.
Turbotax does not pay your income taxes.
The way your taxes would get paid would be by any of the following methods:
1) selecting direct debit on your tax return and providing routing and account numbers
2) mailing in form 1040-V with payment
3) payment through the IRS website using Direct Pay, or a credit or debit card.
If the taxes were in fact paid you would see the amount on your bank statement/ credit card or debit card statement covering the period that includes dates on an after you filed.
If you do not find the payment the IRS notice would be correct so send payment by the due date to prevent additional penalties and interest.
I didn’t pay on the irs website and it is on my statement. I just thought it was very odd and of course I have to wait until Monday to call. I’m also worried about the penalties. Thanks for you response!
Well that is how the system works ... if you did pay timely and you can prove it then penalties are a moot point.
