I scheduled my fed. tax to be paid on 04/14/2020 via electronic funds transfer when I efiled but do not see any record of the pending payment. How can I verify?

Where are looking to see for a pending payment for April 14, 2020, a month from today? The IRS will not show a pending payment on the IRS website.

my electronic payment was scheduled for 4/8 and failed. It is confusing to know how and where to go to re-submit or cancel or both. Given the new deadline I believe I have time to refile, but how do I do this and ensure that a double payment is not triggered? I made the e-file request through TurboTax....it seems that TurboTax should be the place I start to cancel and/or re-submit. Oh...and between e-filing and now I had to purchase a new PC so my TurboTax program did not recognize my 2019 return file.

According to the IRS, until and unless you receive a Letter 608C, Dishonored Check Penalty, the only way to know if to keep checking your bank.

If you find that the payment doesn't come out with in a few days, you can call to check the status and/or choose to make the payment at the IRS payment center. IRS Payment Options

IRS Hours of Telephone Service:
Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. local time (Alaska & Hawaii follow Pacific Time). The best times to call during April are before 10:00 a.m. and after 7:00 p.m., and Monday is the heaviest traffic day.

Don't resubmit through Turbo Tax because at this point, this is out of our hands.
