Pay owed Federal taxes earlier than scheduled

[casaperez01]

I had scheduled my tax payment by ACH for April 14, but want to pay earlier. Can I do that through Turbo Tax? If not then how to I get that payment to the IRS?  This is affecting the receipt of my stimulus check.

If you have already e-filed and your return has been accepted, you cannot change the date of your tax payment.

The payment of your tax due on your 2020 tax return, whether made before or on its due date now of May 17, 2021 cannot and will not affect your eligibility for the third stimulus or the receipt of the stimulus check.

Thank you for the information.  I was able to contact someone at the IRS and they advised that the owed taxes could be paid at any time through their website.  When I advised that I had filed electronically, I was told that did not matter, that the payment will be credited to my taxes owed this year.  Not sure about the Stimulus check as I did not ask that question, but I did get a message that more information is needed, and my information is no different, except for my physical address, than last year.  My bank information has not changed, yet I have not received and the website cannot tell me why I have not received my stimulus check.  How would I find out what the issue may be?

Yes, you are correct, many of our customers are experiencing delays in receiving their stimulus without being able to access information via the tools the IRS has provided as expected.  As our customers continue to have questions regarding the Economic Impact Payments (EIP), we’re continuing to work with the IRS for guidance. We’re updating our customer and expert-facing articles with information as soon as we get it.
