MY TAX FILING SAID THAT TURBOTAX WOULD BE PAYING MY ESTIMATED FEDERAL AND STATE TAXES FROM MY BANK ACCOUNT.  MY BANK POSTED PAYMENTS FOR MY STATE ESTIMATED TAX, BUT I SEE NOTHING ABOUT MY FEDERAL ESTIMATED TAX.  I NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT IS PAID ON TIME.  WHEN WILL INTUIT MAKE MY 4/15/26 ESTIMATED FEDERAL TAX PAYMENT?  OR HOW CAN I FIND THAT?

If you selected direct debit of taxes owed from your bank account, that information is sent with the e-filed tax return.  The IRS debits your account based on the information you provided.  It may take the IRS up to 10 days after the date requested before it shows on your bank account.

TurboTax does not make your tax payments.   TurboTax only passes your banking information on to the IRS or state, and the IRS and state have to pull out those payments.  TT will never know if the payments were made.

Are you in New York?    You can only schedule estimated payments for New  York state.  Not federal or states.   Turbo Tax can prepare the IRS estimated 1040ES slips but estimates are optional to pay.  

 

Or that state payment in your bank account may be for a 2025 state tax due?
