Question

Federal payment with extension did not go through

On 4/13/2025 (Sunday) I processed an extension and a large Federal tax payment for 2024. As of 4/15/2025 end of day this payment has not been debited from my bank account, however the payment does appear in in the upper left corner of TurboTax,  as paid, and also appears correct on the Federal extension 4868. 

 

How do I check if this payment is still in que to be paid? What is the typical lead time to process a payment?

    If you file right before (or on) the April 15, 2025, deadline, the IRS may not be able to debit your payment until after the deadline due to high e-filing volume. Also, it can take your bank another few days to post the debit to your account.

     

    As long as you file your return or extension on or before April 15, 2025, and you select April 15, 2025, 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 your return has been accepted, call IRS e-file Payment Services at 888-353-4537 or contact your state tax agency.

     

    When will my tax payment go through?
