To be clear----did you enter banking information to pay the federal tax due to the IRS? Did you specify a date for the direct debit? If you did not specify a date, it will default to the filing deadline of April 15, 2026.

TO CANCEL A TAX PAYMENT YOU SCHEDULED

If your return was accepted, you cannot change your payment method or payment date. The only thing you can do is cancel the payment and then pay by a different method on your own.

Call IRS e-file Payment Services 24/7 at 1-888-353-4537 to ask about or cancel your payment, but please wait 7 to 10 days after your return was accepted before calling.
Cancellation requests must be received no later than 11:59 p.m. ET two business days prior to the scheduled payment date.
