Hello! I e-filed on 1/30 and did Direct Debit to pay both the federal and state (Maryland) what I owe. Federal came out of my account almost immediately, but the state still hasn't taken their money after 2 weeks. Is this normal or should I be worried that something is wrong? This is my first time doing Direct Debit, so I do not know what to expect.
Thanks,
MB
We don't have control over returns, refunds, or tax payments once the return has processed, but I would not worry.
If a state is backlogged, they will be slower than the IRS.
It's easier to check on refunds than it is to check tax payments. You just need to be patient.

Did your debit go through yet? My fed payment cleared right away but MD state has not. There seems to be no way to check on the status of payments.
Hello! After a getting a payment notice in the mail, I called to see what the direct debit holdup was. She said it was scheduled for 4/30 and not 1/30 as I intended. I had to make a payment on the state's website to avoid it being late. Now I'm worried they won't follow through with canceling the 4/30 payment. *sigh*
You can see the payment date you set up when you filed your return. Follow these instructions:
You can also contact your state, if you have additional questions.
