How do I cancel my automatic payment?

I want to change my TurboTax automatic scheduled payment to the IRS from April 15 to July 15. How is that accomplished?

Federal tax direct debit payments can be canceled up to 2 business days prior to the debit date. To cancel, call the IRS on (888) 353-4537, but please wait 7-10 days after your return has been accepted.

 

Then, to schedule a new payment, go to the IRS Direct Pay site.
