Mandatory e-file and underpayment penalties - want to pay earlier
We have been required to file IRS taxes electronically, which we do every year. This year, we have underpayment penalties and do not want to wait until IRS debits the taxes owed on 4/145/26. Penalties accrue daily, so we want to pay ourselves, online, by 2/28/26. Can I pay via our online IRS account now and hope that IRS doesn't double debit our checking account on 4/15/26 for same amount?
