Your date of payment stays valid.  It may take the IRS up to 10 days to debit your account during this time of the tax season.

• Call IRS e-file Payment Services 24/7 at 888-353-4537 to inquire about or cancel your payment, but please wait 7 to 10 days after your return was accepted before calling.

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?
