I set direct debit to pay tax owed for 2/28. However, I haven’t seen transaction in my bank yet. Should I wait a few days? Or Should I pay the tax owe directly online

When I file my tax, I choose an option to direct debit for the tax owed on 2/28. I am wondering if I should wait a few days for it to happen or should I log into state revenue website and pay directly? I thought the transaction would happen on the 28th

When you owe taxes,a direct debit date can be set up no later than 4/15/2021.  Generally, IRS debit the account on the filing deadline.  If the amount wasn't deducted from your account, leave enough money to cover your tax liability.

Hello, @JoannaB2 

Thank you so much for your help! I just received a notification that the transaction was made. Once the money get deducted from my bank, do you know how long it will take to reflect in my state tax online account? It still show up as I have balance own. 

Thanks!

Not sure exactly what you mean here.......your "Online" tax file in TurboTax will always show your balance due that was supposed to be paid....The tax software does not get feedback from the Feds or the State as to whether a Balance Due was paid or not.......it just shows what was due to be paid at the time you filed your taxes..

Your confirmation of payment is a printout of your Bank account statement.  Print it and put in your tax folder with a paper copy of your final tax returns.  Get those printed now....do not depend on having easy access to them a year from now.

I schedule a direct debit payment on the taxes I owed but the check returned. How can I pay it again?

Go to this IRS payment website and use Direct Pay for the 2021 taxes owed - https://www.irs.gov/payments
