I E-filed my federal return yesterday and used the Direct Debit option for the tax payment (desktop app). For the date of payment, I used yesterday's date for what I thought would be an immediate payment. Both the Filing Instructions and Return Summary show that I elected the Direct Debit, but the Date of Withdrawal is blank:
Your return shows you have selected to [ay your balance due of
$$$$$.$$ by Direct Debit using the following information:
- Amount Withdrawn: $$$$$.$$
- Date of Withdrawal:
I also don't see where the debit posted to my bank account. Where else can I check if this went through or not? My first thought was to just pay again with a check, but then I would have to wait for a refund for the potential double payment -- assuming the IRS even notices; that may take months, and the amount is large enough that paying twice, if that's the case, would be painful.
Any ideas?
