IRS did not process quarterly 2024 payment in Jan, 2025. Do I skip it and just take the penalty (I filed the quarterly directly and not thru TT).

I filed directly with the IRS Jan, 2025 for 2024 and gave them permission to take payment. This week (mid-March), I found they hadn't taken payment. I called them and they said it was GLITCH in their system and recommended I resubmit. But I am so close to tax time, it is going to not get processed in time. What do I do?

Did you make the payment through the IRS webpage, Payments?

I would think that this would be computerized, so no delay. OK, very little delay.

I have not tried to use the IRS website for a different year, but you might go look at it and see if Payments will let you do that. 

The only problem is that the system probably won't you change the current date to January 15th.
