what happens if you owe money (to both state and federal) and you gave them the wrong routing number?
How do we correct that?
Go to this IRS website for information -https://www.irs.gov/payments/pay-taxes-by-electronic-funds-withdrawal
- Once your return is accepted, information pertaining to your payment, such as account information, payment date, or amount, cannot be changed. If changes are needed, the only option is to cancel the payment and choose another payment method.
- Call IRS e-file Payment Services 24/7 at 1-888-353-4537 to inquire about or cancel your payment, but please wait 7 to 10 days after your return was accepted before calling.
- Cancellation requests must be received no later than 11:59 p.m. ET two business days prior to the scheduled payment date.
Once your payment is cancelled you can use the IRS payment website with Direct Pay to pay the federal taxes owed - https://www.irs.gov/payments
For the state payment you will need to access your state's tax authority website for how to cancel the payment and pay by Direct Debit for the state taxes owed.
