Was my payment made via checking account when I e-filed?

Hello, I just e-filed my taxes and selected the option to pay: "Withdraw from my Bank Account" and I entered in my routing and account #. I selected today's date for my payment date... but will the payment not be made until e-file is accepted? Should I trust payment will go through?

You have to allow a realistic amount of time for the IRS to pull your payment out.  They do not pull out your payment until they have accepted your return and begun to process it.   You will need to watch your own bank account to see when that happens.

 

 

Did you e-file?   Did you go through all three steps of the FILE section and click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”

 

 

When you e-file your return you will get two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say your return has been transmitted; the second one will tell you the IRS has accepted  or rejected your federal e-file.  If you filed a state return, there will be a third email (usually a day or two later) that tells you if the state e-file was accepted or rejected.

 

Check your e-file status:
