If I send my state tax money I owe through check, how long does it take for the money to be taken out?

If i send check today when will it be taken out of bank account?

When the money will be taken out depends on 1) How long it takes the Postal Service to deliver your letter and 2) How long it takes your state to open the letter and deposit the check.

Generally, the check is credited to your tax account as of the postmark date, but it could clear the bank a week or more from the day you mail it.
