To add a data point to the conversation... I did not file with TurboTax this year. I used another service, lets call it "TaxTax." I could not find any conversation about this issue regarding "TaxTax", so I was thankful to find this forum. "TaxTax" also offered for me to pay Missouri tax via direct debit. I scheduled it for 4/15/22. The return was accepted immediately. But as of 4/22/22, the funds have not been deducted from my account, and the MO Tax site has not received payment, and is tacking on late fees. I cannot confirm that "TaxTax" is not to blame, but the common thread is the Missouri Dept. of Revenue, which is probably the bottleneck. I'm glad to see there are others who have had the same issue, and that EVENTUALLY the funds were paid.
Nice job, MODOR, for making it faster to send a paper check via snail mail, than to use an electronic debit!
EDIT 4/25/22 -- Funds have been now been debited -- 10 DAYS after scheduled. Or on the 7th business day after scheduled. MODOR site still shows taxes unpaid, taxes and late fees still due... I expect that will update soon...stand by...
EDIT 5/11/22 -- I've been checking for changes almost daily and FINALLY -- 26 DAYS later -- the page now simply shows "Your return has been accepted as filed." -- no mention of being late, or of payment, late fees, or interest being due. It sure would be nice if it now said my payment of $xxx has been processed and amount due is $0. Have to assume that no news is good news. Speed (and clarity) of government indeed!
The bar is set very low, maybe next year will be better.
