TurboTax offered to set up Direct Pay for me. Why didn't they provide a confirmation number then? I WOULD'VE DONE THIS THROUGH THE IRS PORTAL IF I KNEW I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO TRACK IT THROUGH TURBOTAX!
You must have misunderstood something. TurboTax in no way can access the IRS payment portal and Direct Pay on your behalf.
You may be thinking of the option to pay the federal taxes owed by direct debit from your bank account where you are asked to enter your bank routing and account numbers in the program for Direct Debit. That information is sent with your e-filed federal tax return and the IRS debits your account.
