Will the auto-debit of my federal tax due occur when i scheduled it? Can I confirm that information?

[Critter · Accepted solution]

Unless you choose a different date the default is 4/15/19  and the payment should happen sometime on or shorty after that date ...

The easiest way to see your payment method used for tax due is to look at your Filing Instructions document (or Electronic Filing Instructions document), which prints out as part of your tax return paperwork. 

Your chosen tax payment method will display at the top of the page, in the Balance Due/Refund section.

For direct debit, you'll also see the amount, routing and account numbers, and withdrawal date.

For credit card, you'll see a message that you chose to pay by credit card, but we won't display your credit info on this document.

For check payment, you'll get instructions on how to fill out the check, where to mail it, and anything else you may need to include with your check.

For installments, you'll see the statement you've elected to pay your balance due in installments along with additional information.

Another way is to reopen your return in TurboTax and go through the File section again and review your choices.

I chose to pay my taxes using the auto-debit feature. Payment was scheduled to be debited from my bank account on 4/13, but as of 4/20 nothing has been debited. My Turbo Tax Filing Instructions document clearly shows I chose the electronic payment with auto-debit, shows the amount to be paid, the date of 4/13 and my account and routing numbers. I checked my account at the IRS and there is no payment scheduled and no payment has been made. What should I do?

Usually, the IRS will withdraw the amount on the day you selected. If that date happens to fall on a weekend or federal holiday, the funds are typically withdrawn the next business day.

But there seems to be some delay with the IRS withdrawing the funds.

Please be aware that this year you have until May 17th to pay your balance due. Also, there will be no penalties or interest if the IRS failed to make the debit on time as long as the request was done correctly on a timely filed return. Please see When will my tax payment go through? for additional information.

Also, you can view your balance and check your payment activity at IRS Paying Your Taxes.
