I efiled my amended federal return and paid the tax owing but the money hasn't shown up as taken from my account

[debiwho427]

After filing my original 2020 tax return I received an additonal 1099 for $3000 so I amended my return and efiled the federal one and paid the $360 taxes owing on here but that isn't showing up as coming out of my bank account.  It says the efile was accepted. I mailed my state amended return with a check

With all the adjustments the IRS has to deal with this year it is not surprising that there are delays.

You were correct in amending for a $3000 1099.

Based on the information you provided it appears you have done everything correctly.

I would just wait for the IRS to catch up. They will match the 1099 to your return and if there is a question or error you will receive a letter and you can respond at that time.

Thanks for your quick response.  So I don't need to mail the federal return in and the amount I owe will directly come out of my bank account? Because that's what I thought was happening

I'm concerned because the $360 owing isn't showing coming out of my bank account. Is that normal? Or do I need to mail the return with a check?

In a normal season, the IRS will debit your account on the date you specified or soon after.  We have had several reports of the IRS not debiting accounts on the scheduled date. Just be patient -- the IRS will take your money! 

 
If you want to check the debit date you specified, look on the filing instructions for your return.  It will tell you the debit date the IRS or State will deduct the payment.  If you did not print them out you can view them using the following steps:

The IRS does take some time to withdraw funds. They are backlogged. Try waiting up to a few days before the May 17 deadline before prompting a secondary means of payment. Otherwise, it could end up that you double pay and then have to wait for a refund. 

To determine if there is a problem, check your account here: IRS: View Your Tax Account Information. 

If the payment has still not been withdrawn and you are within a few days of May 17, go to IRS Paying Your Taxes for options or see 2020 Form 1040 Instructions, page 62. Payment options include:  

• mailing in a payment using Form 1040-V Payment Voucher, or 

• by using either Direct Pay or 

• by using the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS).

I'm so confused because I efiled my amended federal return and it shows it accepted and I know I said to debit my account BUT when I go to the print my return the instruction sheet says to mail my return with a check? I don't want to overpay but I don't want to not pay either. What do I do? I've never had to amend a return before so this is all new to me
