If you set-up a payment for your income tax payment using TurboTax and you did not specify a payment date for the withdrawal, TurboTax's default payment date will be used (the last day of tax season = April 18th this year).

If your payment date has passed, but your tax payment has not been withdrawn yet, payment will not usually be not initiated until the return has been processed.  Most states don't begin processing state returns until after the federal return has completed processing (your payment is still considered timely, as long as submitted before April 18).

You can also call IRS e-file Payment Services anytime at 1-888-353-4537 to verify your payment.

Contact your state Department of Revenue:  https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3302452

OR

To check the IRS or state payment date selected in TurboTax:

1.     Sign In to TurboTax

2.     Select "Taxes"

3.     Click "My Tax Timeline"

4.     Choose "Some things You can Do"

5.     Select "Download all forms and worksheets"

6.     Review Part V of the Federal Information Worksheet for payment and banking information.

7.     Review State Information Worksheet for payment and banking information.

** If the election checkboxes are marked "NO" and OR your banking information is not displayed on the Information Worksheet, then the direct debit was not successful. To setup payments for federal and state taxes, use the links in this answer.

If you have not set-up your payment through TurboTax, visit  www.irs.gov/Payments  and choose from the payment options available.

I don't believe you answered the question. 

I have the same issue. I set up the payment information (step 2) for federal and state. I also filed an easy extension with Federal (remember CA is automatic to Oct 15). I have the federal money being debited, but not state. The message on step 2 is:

Step 2
Your tax payment info
  • For your Federal return:

    You don’t have a refund or tax due. Congratulations, that’s great tax planning!

  • For your CA return:

    Your taxes owed will be direct debited from your bank account ending in xxxx on xx/xx/xxx

----

However when called Turbotax customer service, they said I should have filed for an extension else the information will not be transmitted. But above information states nothing to this effect. How is a consumer supposed to know this? CA extensions are automatic and I expected that bank information for CA taxes will also be transmitted. Now I may be looking at a penalty for depending on Turbotax?
