e-file payment

hautz — Sun, 28 Mar 2021 17:54:51 GMT

I e-filed my return. It was accepted on March 23rd. I decided to pay my taxes owed through turbo tax. I completed my bank info and the tax was suppose to be deducted on March 25th. Nothing has come out of my account as of the 28th. What happened?

The IRS will debit your account based on the information you entered. However, since the return was just filed and you selected a Sunday for the account to be debited, it will probably not be until sometime in the next week to 10 days before you will see the debit on your bank account.

I've got the same situation. Where can I see in TurboTax when I scheduled my payment? It's been about 10 days since I filed, but the payment has not been debited from my bank account yet. Just want to make sure the IRS does not come knocking on my door wanting its money.

Call IRS e-file Payment Services 24/7 at 1-888-353-4537 to inquire about your payment, but please wait 7 to 10 days after your return was accepted before calling.

I efiled my Federal and state (CA) taxes; both accepted. State tax due paid and accepted. First INSTALLMENT for Fed 2021 taxes sent in and accepted. But my payment for Fed tax due has not been accepted, so please don't tell me "wait 7-10 days;" as I said, the 1st 2021 est. tax installment HAS been accepted. Why is this so difficult? Can't TurboTax tell me whether the payment for 2020 did get transmitted? Can't I find this information online?

In a normal season, the IRS will debit your account on the date you specified or soon after. We have had several reports of the IRS not debiting accounts on the scheduled date. Just be patient -- the IRS will take your money!

If you want to check the debit date you specified, look on the filing instructions for your return. It will tell you the debit date the IRS or State will deduct the payment. If you did not print them out you can view them using the following steps:

TurboTax Online

To get back into your return after printing or e-filing, please follow these steps:

In TurboTax Online, sign into your account.
You should be on your Tax Home page.
Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents.
Select 2020, and then select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this just gets you into the right menu).
Once you're in your return, you can navigate around as usual.
Click Tax Tools (in the black bar on the left of your screen) and then click select Print Center.
Click Print, save or preview this year's return

TurboTax CD/Download

Go into Forms Mode by clicking on the Forms icon in the top right of the blue bar.
In the Forms in My Return list on the left, click Filing Inst. [It's usually toward the bottom of the list.] The form will appear on the right side of the screen.
You can view the form on the screen or you can print a copy by clicking the Print box at the bottom of the screen.
To return to the interview, click on the Step-By-Step icon in the top right of the blue bar.

Just wanted to post an update on the IRS taking its time to abscond with my loot. It took the agency two full weeks, but yesterday it finally debited my bank account for the taxable amount due. Spend it wisely, you socialists!

The Turbo Tax fee? You have to pay any fees with a credit card before you can file or print. Or have them deducted from a federal refund.

You can get a prepaid Visa card at Walmart or somewhere to pay the fees.
