re-schedule payment date

Can I re-schedule  my payment  date to a later date ?

 

I scheduled my payment to be withdrawn from my bank account and I would like to postpone.

  • Once your return is accepted, information pertaining to your payment, such as account information, payment date, or amount, cannot be changed. If changes are needed, the only option is to cancel the payment and choose another payment method.
  • 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.

I called the 888 number .  I reached the ESTPS department.  They answered the phone on the second ring!!!!  I was able to cancel the payment for April 15th.  I will then arrange to pay the liability in 90 days without penalty or interest per the announcement by the Federal Government regarding the COVID-19 virus issue.  total time to accomplish this 5 minutes!!!!  thank you
