IRS Federal Payment

AlanRodgers · ‎April 05, 2025

I filed my tax return on 3/20 and I owe money. The payment has not been taken yet from my bank account.

I want to confirm if the payment is an automatic withdrawal from my bank account or was I supposed to mail a check?

The IRS has to process your return, move it to the payment department and then set up the debit. It can take up to 3 weeks after filing. Review your paperwork. You will either have indicated to do a direct debit or you indicated you would mail a voucher.

Where would I find the information of whether I consented to payment by voucher or direct debit?
