Question

Payment made with tax return not processed??

  • April 6, 2026

UPDATE: My payment was processed the next day. 😊


I submitted my tax return on Saturday (April 4th) and paid the taxes at the end with my credit card. I just now realized I never received any email confirmation of the payment, although my return WAS accepted. And I just checked my credit card account and the payment hasn't been processed.

 

Anyone know how long it takes for them to apply the payment, or is it just a matter of me doing it on a Saturday? I don't know how to check into it if they didn't apply it...

 

Thanks.

    To know when the IRS takes your credit card payment, check your credit card statement for a charge from a payment processor (usually listed as "United States Treasury Tax Payment"). Credit card payments are typically processed within 1–2 days, though they can take up to 7 days to post to your IRS account.

    Confirm your IRS credit card payment by checking your IRS Online Account, which displays payment history within 1–2 days.
