I'm trying to stop my tax payment through the third party so that I can pay IRS directly. How can I do that?

How do I contact the third party who is processing my tax payment to the IRS? I need to change or stop the payment method.

What? If you already chose to pay your fees by having them deducted from your federal refund it is too late if you e-filed it.

Why do you think there is a third party processing your tax payment? That would only happen if you selected to pay by credit card. (If you select pay by bank debit, that information is passed directly to the IRS and the IRS makes the debit.)

As far as I know, if you select pay by credit card, that information is passed to the credit card processor as soon as your e-filed return is accepted and there is no way to stop it after that.

@catlvr44 It is not clear what you are trying to do. Are you trying to pay tax due to the IRS? Or are you trying to pay TurboTax fees---and attempting to change your mind about paying the fees from a federal refund? If you are paying the IRS there is no third party bank involved. Please explain.
