The IRS/States is currently processing a high volume of e-filed returns, so it can take several days for your payments to go through.
The IRS/States may debit the payment after the deadline. Also, it can take the banks another few days to post the debit to your account.
As long as you filed you return or extension on or before April 15, 2026, and you selected April 15, 2026, or earlier as your payment date, you won't get penalized for late payment.
If you don't see the debit in your bank account 7–10 days after their return has been accepted, call the IRS e-file Payment Services at 888-353-4537 or contact your state tax agency.
How do I contact my state Department of Revenue?
If the IRS received two payment, you will need to contact them for the refund of the duplicate payment.
It might be easiest to set up an account with them.
