How to Cancel a Scheduled Federal payment

How do I cancel an already scheduled payment? I want to change the date of payment as there was an extension given to pay income tax.

Thanks

"You can’t change your payment date in TurboTax after your return has been accepted but you can cancel it and make other payment arrangements with the IRS.

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". Ref: TurboTax How do I change my payment date?
