I e-filed and my taxes where accepted. I owe and set-up for the funds to be taken from my checking account. It has been almost a week after the date selected and the funds have not been withdrawn from my account.

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 If that date happens to fall on a weekend or federal holiday, the funds are typically withdrawn the next business day.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. 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.

Hi, I am in the same situation. My return was accepted by the IRS and State both with payments due on 04 Apr 21. I set the payment dates for ~ 08 Apr 21. The state debited their amount due but so far the IRS has not debited for the amount I owe. I called the IRS payment line and the agent said they were having issues this year and yes normally they would have debited my account on the date as specified. He advised to give it another week or so and this was not normal. He could not see the payment made or scheduled either. Will post again when I have more info. Sounds like many people paying by EFT are having similar issues with the IRS debit.

Similar to many of you. Filed in early April. State took money out a few days later. IRS still not yet after 10+ days.

Turbo Tax "Electronic Filing Instructions for your 2020 Federal Tax Return" page is USELESS.

Says this:

"Your federal tax return (Form 1040) shows a balance due of $. Mail your completed Form 1040-V with included payment made payable to the | United States Treasury by May 17, 2021. Make sure you sign your check and write your social security number and "Form 1040-V" on the check."

That's not a typo and it is a direct copy. It says balance due of $. I owed quite a bit. And told it to take it out of my checking account; which is also not shown.

So now on old with the IRS (transferred 3 times) to confirm they actually have my payment instructions (since the IRS.gov account web page shows no pending or scheduled payments). Turbo Tax bug on the summary page showing zero amount and wrong info; IRS bug in not charging my account promptly as instructed.

Hi. I'm sorry you are having issues too. Thanks for alerting community!

Based on your post, I verified my "2020 filing page" just now and has the correct owed amounts listed from the 1040 + correct bank routing and other info on that page.

After speaking with the IRS agent on SAT, I'll be monitoring my bank account daily for the next couple of weeks. If push/shove + no EFT by the 17 May deadline, he said I could choose to pay it manually that day and then watch the accounts carefully. The gotcha is they would still debit your original EFT too when they get around to it. To avoid that, he said you would have to closely monitor your banking accounts and then tell the bank to reverse the 2nd charge within I think 5 days of it hitting. Of course, you also have to have the $ in the account to pay the 2nd EFT too or face overdrafts and bounced debit pain.

To keep-it-simple for now, he strongly recommended monitoring and waiting since they know they are behind on the EFTS vs complicating the situation.

Please let us know what you learn as you situation with the missing data on the pages is very strange. TY! Stay safe, stay alive! Peace.

Per the IRS:

Once your return is accepted, information pertaining to your payment, such as account information, payment date, or amount, cannot be changed. If changes are needed, the only option is to cancel the payment and choose another payment method. For information on other electronic payment options visit the Payments Home Page.
Call IRS e-file Payment Services 24/7 at 1-888-353-4537 to inquire about or cancel your payment, but please wait 7 to 10 days after your return was accepted before calling.
Cancellation requests must be received no later than 11:59 p.m. ET two business days prior to the scheduled payment date.

I have the same situation. Set this up originally for April 20. It never was taken out. Went back in and did it for May 15, didnt happen. Due date is May 17th. I may have mail a check and then block this transaction on my credit union side. Tried calling Intuit last Friday, terrible service on phone automated response would not send me to a representative. If this doesn't happen tomorrow I will not use Turbo Tax in the future. Have used them for many years but this is unacceptable

Also glitch with my e-filing.

TurboTax has no ability to see or change when the IRS will debit your account for taxes due them.

Please be patient - the IRS will process your payment as quickly as they are able.

You really can't find out when the IRS is going to debit your bank account for a tax payment - they don't provide that information.

The IRS cannot debit your bank account any earlier than you authorized when filing, but they can wait as long as they want after that date. Presently, they are way behind in processing returns and issuing refunds because of ongoing changes in the tax code. It is reasonable to believe the same delays are occurring in payment processing.
