My federal return was accepted and I designated my taxes to be paid on April 3 and money to be taken from my bank. But April 3 came and went and nothing happened. It is now April 8 and no payment has been made. Is this a problem with the IRS? What do I do?

If your payment date has passed, but your tax payment has not been withdrawn yet, payment will not usually be not initiated until the return has been processed. Most states don't begin processing state returns until after the federal return has completed processing (your payment is still considered timely, as long as submitted before July 15).

You can also call IRS e-file Payment Services anytime at 1-888-353-4537 to verify your payment.

To check the IRS or state payment date selected in TurboTax:

1. Sign In to TurboTax

2. Select "Taxes"

3. Click "My Tax Timeline"

4. Choose "Some things You can Do"

5. Select "Download all forms and worksheets"

6. Review Part V of the Federal Information Worksheet for payment and banking information.

7. Review State Information Worksheet for payment and banking information.

** If the election checkboxes are marked "NO" and OR your banking information is not displayed on the Information Worksheet, then the direct debit was not successful.

I checked my federal worksheet and everything was entered correctly. I received my state refund but federal did not take out my taxes due. I am not clear what "processing" my return means since it was accepted and everything is done electronically. Are you saying there is another step that the government has to take with my return before the withdrawal is initiated, and they have not done that yet? Has anyone else reported this issue? thanks.
