Thank you.
+ There are not penalties since I live in LA County which due to wildfire meant that payments & filing deadlines were extended to Oct 15.
+ Yes the return was accepted by IRS--I got the confirmation email as such.
+ I was able to get back to the filing instructions in TurboTax (not easy to figure out). The instructions make clear that TurboTax is going to have IRS direct debit me. I have TurboTax my bank account information along with the request for debit. That just hasn't happened yet, even though the expected date was yesterday.
+ Really I'm trying to figure out if I should in addition to those instructions make a payment directly. But I read elsewhere on the internet that sometimes IRS can take up to 7 days to actually debit your account. The funds are still in my bank--they clearly haven't moved yet. I *think* it will still count as timely payment if I've given the instructions to direct debit, even if IRS debits later?
Thank you!
