I filed and paid my IRS tax return with a credit card.  It rejected due to a missing pin.  The charge was appearing on my credit card as pending.  When I corrected the return, it asked how I would pay so I put mail a check so that I wouldnt get charged 2x. Now charge is gone from my credit card.  Will it be processed at a later date or did I just screw up?

When the return was rejected the info to pay the balance due was not sent to the IRS so the CC payment was cancelled ( the pending charge never was made permanent).  Since you refiled but did not request the payment to be made on the CC again the pending charge was dropped ... it will not be reinstated in the future.  Good news you save yourself a CC fee by paying by check.
