My VA State tax set for 4/12 hasn't been withdrawn. I do my part to pay taxes on time, yet it's not reciprocated. Now I worry I'll be penalized. What to do?

UPDATED FOR TAX YEAR 2019

 

You won't be penalized.  You filed your return and authorized the payment before the filing deadline (May 1 in VA).  Because of the COVID virus, VA has extended the deadline for filing and payment until June 1, 2020.

 

The state may not be able to debit your payment until after the deadline, due to high e-filing volume. In addition, it can take your bank another few days to post the debit to your account.

Check the printout or PDF of your return, and look for the State filing instruction sheet with the Turbotax logo.  If you owe tax, it will show the payment information and how/when you decided to pay.

Read the state payment instructions carefully, since most states cannot be paid from within the TT system, and thus require additional steps.
