    Information transmitted to the IRS

    After client e-Signed the return, I caught the electronic payment option was not checked.  As that is what client requested, I checked the box and e-filed the return, defaulting payment day is 5/17/21.  I believe the electronic payment election was transmitted to the IRS, but how do I make sure of that?  

    Client told me they did not see a payment went out of their bank today.  How many days does the payment clear the bank, and how do I verify whether this payment election was truly transmitted to the IRS?

    With the return open in-program, you will want to go to the Check Return tab, from there clicking on Forms on the left-hand navigation bar, selecting US to get a view of your forms. It is in this list that you would see the E-file Payment Record.

    Thanks for reaching out!

    We'd suggest confirming that the E-file Payment Record was generated. You can check this in-program.

    If so, the client's payment information was sent with the return to the federal agency. The IRS can take a few days to process payments.

    Here's hoping that helps!
