Tax refund woes

josh45 — Fri, 19 Mar 2021 00:15:08 GMT

Like many others, I filed with TurboTax. Have a large federal refund but owe quite a bit in state taxes.

Federal return transmitted 02/12/21

Federal return accepted 02/12/21

Estimated federal refund date 03/05/21

Since I owe back about 25% of my state tax from the refund in 4 weeks, I am awfully concerned I won't have the funds to pay my state taxes and it is set to autodraft. Thanks to the IRS's extreme lack of communication and competence, I could be up the creek without a paddle. What can I do to push back the autodraft so it happens after I get back my large refund?

Please contact the state for information on how to do that.

State payments are not actually due until 4/15 (5/17 if the state is also extending the due date) so if you cannot stop the debit and the account is not sufficient then the debit will not happen.
