Can we delay federal tax payments given the 90 day delayed deadline if we have already set them up via direct deposit on 4/15/2020. Thanks!

You can now enter payment dates up to 07/15 in TurboTax.   The link below is still a good link to find out current COVID-19 tax-related information.  

 

Right now, you can't enter payment dates past 04/15/20**.  You can still change the payment method, however.  We are currently working on updating the payment options/dates within TurboTax.   Please check back here for future announcements.

Q14. I already filed my 2019 income tax return that would have been due on April 15 and scheduled a payment of taxes for April 15, 2020. Will this payment be automatically rescheduled to July 15, 2020?

 

A14. No, the payment will not be automatically rescheduled to July 15. If you do nothing, the payment will be made on the date you chose. Here is information on how to cancel and reschedule your payment:

  • If you scheduled a payment through IRS Direct Pay, you can use your confirmation number from the payment to access the Look Up a Payment feature. You can modify or cancel a scheduled payment until two business days before the payment date. The email notification you received when you scheduled the payment will contain the confirmation number.
     
  • If you scheduled a payment through Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS), click on Payments from the EFTPS home page, login, then click Cancel a Tax Payment from the left menu and follow the instructions. You must do so at least two business days before the scheduled payment date.
     
  • If you scheduled a payment as part of filing your tax return (authorizing an electronic funds withdrawal), you may revoke (cancel) your payment by contacting the U.S. Treasury Financial Agent at 888-353-4537. You must call to make a payment cancellation request no later than 11:59 p.m. ET two business days prior to the scheduled payment date.
     
  • If you scheduled a payment by credit card or debit card, contact the card processor to cancel the card payment
