I am set to have my underpayment (amount owed to IRS) taken directly out of my checking account on July 15th but with COVID and unemployment, I now want to see if I can change to a payment plan. Is that possible and if so, how do I go about doing so? My return was e-filed and accepted back in April and since it's just the method of payment that I want to change, I don't think I need to amend the return.

Call IRS e-file Payment Services 24/7 at 1-888-353-4537 to inquire 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.
