Hi tax experts: I filed yesterday and as of now the status has not changed to accepted. I owed federal taxes, so I entered my bank info for payment before I submitted. Do you know if this payment information is sent to IRS even though the e-file is pending? I am afraid IRS won't know I paid before the deadline. What happens if I separately went to IRS website and made the payment? Will IRS know not to pull the again whenever the efile is accepted?
Pending means the tax return is waiting to be pulled from the server by the IRS.
Your tax return was timely filed and the payment information is included in the federal tax return that was e-filed.
You do not need to pay the federal taxes owed on the IRS website.
