The IRS does not send confirmation of proof of payment for taxes owed.  You should have a cancelled check, bank or credit card statement showing the payment, depending on how you chose to pay the taxes.

You can also get a free transcript of a federal return Record of Account which will show payments - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

TurboTax does not receive confirmation from the IRS regarding the processing of refunds. We only receive notification of acceptance/rejection of returns. You can track your refund using the IRS Where's My Refund tool.

I paid the IRS 500$ they cashed the check but never gave me credit on my account.  Where do I send them the copy of the canceled check for proof?   Mind you I’ve tried calling and you can’t get through.

Did you receive a notice from the IRS saying you did not pay?  If not, you may need to wait just a bit for it to process.

 

You can use the following link to determine the status of your payments and account with the IRS directly.  This is your best option at this point in time.

If the IRS ever says you did not make your payment, they will send you a notice.  You should retain a copy of the cancelled check and a copy of the bank statement with your tax return.  You will then be able to reply to any notices sent to you with these copies to prove that you made the payment. The notices will give you information on how to reply to the IRS as well as a number to call if you have issues.

I paid my $595 income tax bill on 1/29/21 using my PayPal account. As Of today 4/1/21 It has not shown up on my credit account. I need to know if I can call the IRS and pay with other means or if they will bill by PayPal.

It may be that the IRS has not processed your tax return yet, so the debit may show up later in PayPal. The IRS would send you a bill after they processed your tax return if the payment did not get made for some reason. You can pay the tax online or with a check, but it may get debited again if you do that. If that happened, the IRS would probably refund the extra payment, but no right away necessarily.

 

Your taxes are not due until May 17 this year, so I suggest you wait until then to send a payment if the debit doesn't go through.

I had to send in proof of payment as well. Did you ever hear back or receive any confirmation from the IRS? 

They took $300 of my refund this year and put it towards my "balance." I'm still waiting on that (to hopefully come back to me) and my IRS transcript to reflect any receipt. I mailed everything 6/5/2021.

I filed my 2019 return and I mailed it and I would never mail it without paying what I owe. I filed in February of 2019 and I received the return back in July 2019 showing that I forgot to sign it. I signed it and returned it immediately. I received a notice one dated August 7, 2021 that I didn't pay the taxes owed, a fine of $435 is being assessed for failure to file, a $5.39 fee is being assessed for failure to pay and a $40.31 interest charge has been assessed and will continue until the total balance is paid. I looked at my two bank statements and do not see a check being cashed by US Treasury. I didn't make a copy either, for some reason.  I will check my credit cards because I might have made the payment with a credit card.
