Here are my replies to your responses:
1. "TT only sends the debit info you entered to the taxing authority and has no other responsibility in the process" - This is the most important part of the process. If TT did not send the information, then the IRS does not have it and payment can't be processed. It just can't be assumed this process was done correctly. What I also find interesting is how TT tells me that they can't even go back and check if the information was sent to the IRS, so even the "only responsibility" they have in the process they can't even validate on their end.
2. Banking information - As explained above, without TT confirming this process was done, how do I even check if the banking information entered was correct?
3. Yes, I successfully filled my extension with the IRS, and the IRS did process it. My payment was made within TT along with my extension request. And yes, I did enter the correct payment information.
4. I do have access to my Federal account and there are no pending or scheduled payments. This falls in line with the IRS making it clear to me they have no payment requests on their side.
With that being said, if TT did indeed send my debit information to the IRS, I should have nothing to worry about.
How can TT show me that this occurred? If they are allowing filers to indeed input this option, they should have controls in place to track that the information was successfully sent to the IRS. I need that confirmation in order to protect myself against future penalty.
