I arranged for direct pay from checking account for balance due to be done April 10, 2025. I received an IRS letter 4870 dated April 11 that e-file payment was rejected/returned because "no account/unable to locate account".
I am certain that I typed in the correct digits for the routing and account numbers (because I triple-check everything before I press "send"). BUT in the case that I did make an error with the routing and account numbers, I cannot verify my mistake by looking at page 3 of the printed copy of my return (this is a 1040-SR) because lines 35 (b) and (d) just show xxxxxx's in those spaces and line 35 (c) does not have Checking or Savings marked. There MAY be an error in the bank numbers, but I would think that Turbo Tax would not let me finish without selecting checking or savings account.
