This is an IRS issue only ... all the TT program does is pass along the debit REQUEST with the tax return and it is up to the FEDS/State to complete the debit request. TT has no control over what the taxing authorities are doing or not doing.
For instance last year ... I had several clients set up to debit the balance due on the federal returns AND to debit the quarterly payments timely as well. These returns were all filed and accepted before April and the IRS took until November to debit not only the balance due but also the first 3 estimated payments. NONE of my clients were sent any late notices or charged any fees because of the IRS not doing what they needed to do timely.
So it looks like the IRS is doing it again ... they have put the balance due returns on the back burner to work on other situations first ... they are not just up to their eyeballs in work they are totally underwater. Nothing you can really do but wait patiently until they get around to doing the debits. Just don't spend the money ... pretend it is already gone.
