So when I filed my taxes I entered my account number wrong. The way my bank works is I have my main account number xxxxxx and for checking its xxxxxx-009 and savings is xxxxxx-000 and so on. I didn't realize that I should have included the 000 so it was taken out of the proper account. So, what is the best way to take care of the issue? I tried using irs.gov/account but I couldn't create the account in order to change it or just make the payment. If I send a check instead will they figure out not to try and also take that amount out of my account?
You can cancel the payment after your tax return has been accepted by the IRS.
See this IRS website - https://www.irs.gov/payments/pay-taxes-by-electronic-funds-withdrawal
After you have canceled you can send the payment with a check.
Thanks for the reply.
I called the number provided, but the representative I spoke with said I needed to enroll in... Something. I could barely make out what she was saying due to a heavy accent and other factors beyond my control.
I told her that I had used turbotax and she said that I would need to call them then? I'm really confused now...
Thanks in advance for your help in this matter.
