How do I know if IRS got my payment? My 2020 Federal tax return was accepted by the IRS but the payment has not been debited from my account yet, I paid upon efile.

I paid the IRS with my debit, my tax return was accepted by the IRS today-BUT my payment has not yet debited from my account, I just want to make sure the IRS gets their payment from me. I paid the amount with card when I e-filed and payment day to IRS was set to post today. Thusfar it has not posted. I am therefore a bit concerned, I don't want to get hit with penalties bc the system messed up or something and did not properly debit my account.

Keep checking, the IRS should collect payment once the return has been accepted.

In the event that the funds are not taken, there are additional options to pay. For more details, see: How can I pay my federal taxes?

My 2020 Federal Return was Accepted and my tax payment has not yet been debited from bank account. It has been 5 days since it was accepted. How long should I keep checking until the tax payment has been debited?

You were able to select the date that the balance due got taken out. You can view your balance and payment activity on the IRS Paying Your Taxes site. Please be aware, this year you have time to pay your balance due until May 17.  If it hasn't been taken out by May 16, then you have the option to pay the amount due online at the IRS Paying Your Taxes site.

Thank you for your help. The IRS took it out of my account and all is good.

My taxes were approved on the 11th.  I completed my bank information to make payment.  I don't recall selecting a date.  Is there a way I can look up that my bank information was used to make payment and when payment will be made?

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:

It doesn't say anything.  I see my bank information in the refund box, but nothing in the amount I owe.  The amount I owe does not match the amount on the payment slip.  1. Does that mean turbotax did not utilize my bank information to pay?  2.  Do i owe the amount in the box or on the slip?

[stilsonagain]

Does the "slip" have 1040ES on the top of the form? If so that is quarterly estimated taxes for 2021. The box on your 1040 that says amount due is your taxes for 2020.

Ok, so if there is no payment information or date in my Amount Owed section,  should I assume that my bank information didn't populate and I need to schedule a payment to IRS?

[CatinaT1]

I would say yes.
