State tax filing

@davek123 

Well, may be difficult to determine exactly....and perhaps you've done some of this already.....we can't know for sure, so I'll go thru all of it....ANYHOW, step by step:

1)  Check that the State filing was actually accepted.  A Federal acceptance does not mean that the state was accepted too. Re-check that State filing status to make sure State wasn't rejected, even if Federal was accepted.  If the state filing was rejected, then the DDebit info isn't transmitted to the state  (IF the state allows a DDebit with the tax filing...not all states allow payment to be done that way)

2)  Confirmed that state was "Accepted'?  Double check the "State" Electronic Filing Instructions in your PDF file too.   The Federal Electronic Filing Instructions sheet may show your bank debit information, BUT your state form may not, as those are entirely separate submissions.

3)  Yep...state filing instructions shows the bank numbers?  3a) Check those numbers to make sure they are correct.  3b)  The numbers seem correct?  Double check with your bank too.  Some banks use a separate Routing number for DDeposit/DDebit that is not on your checks.

OR

4)  Nope...state filing instructions do not show the bank account number.  Some states do not allow you to arrange a DDebit using the tax filing itself.  Some states require you to go to your State's own tax website and arrange the payment there, thus your e-filing did not have a way to arrange the DDebit.

One of those things might help you figure out what happened.

BUT...If you have confirmed that your State e-filing was definitely accepted, and the debit didn't occur for any reason, no matter who is at fault...your only course now is to go to that state's tax website and find the section where you can arrange a debit now (or send in a paper check with a payment voucher).  Whether the state eventually charges some penalty or interest later?  they'll send you a bill for that extra later....the exact amount of those penalty and interest $$ depends on exactly when they get your main tax payment and cannot be pre-determined.
