Help! New filing deadline...

michaelfeldstein — Fri, 20 Mar 2020 14:41:46 GMT

Just heard that the IRS has extended the date for filing and for paying taxes from April 15 to July 15. I already filed my taxes, and arranged for an electronic payment of taxes that I owe to be pulled from my checking account on April 15th. With the new deadline, I would like to be able to extend the date that they pull the amount I owe to july 15th. is there any way that I can still do that? Will an amended return help (even though the only thing I am amemding is the date to pay)?

You will have to cancel the payment and then pay the federal taxes owed on the IRS payment website on or before July 15, 2020.

IRS website for information on canceling a direct debit payment -https://www.irs.gov/payments/pay-taxes-by-electronic-funds-withdrawal

Once your return is accepted, information pertaining to your payment, such as account information, payment date, or amount, cannot be changed. If changes are needed, the only option is to cancel the payment and choose another payment method.
Call IRS e-file Payment Services 24/7 at 1-888-353-4537 to inquire about or cancel your payment, but please wait 7 to 10 days after your return was accepted before calling.
Cancellation requests must be received no later than 11:59 p.m. ET two business days prior to the scheduled payment date.

Go to this IRS payment website and choose Direct Pay - https://www.irs.gov/payments
