Does a rejected which had an "authorized auto-draft payment" cancel the associated payment?

[bluedeb · Accepted solution]

If a return is rejected, any scheduled direct debit withdrawal (payment) is canceled. If you chose to pay by credit card, the tax payment portion of that transaction is also canceled.

If you want to make sure, you can call the IRS payment center, to see if there is a payment showing or cancelled.

 call IRS e-file Payment Services at 1-888-353-4537 or contact your state tax agency.
