Three clients, whom I've set to auto debit for tax payments from their bank accounts for late March, have not had the money removed by the IRS.

Has anyone experienced this?

I did see someone else mention a similar situation the other day. but it was scheduled for April and hadnt happened ....have you called the EFW phone number and inquired about the scheduled payment?

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.

Example number 323 of why I try to avoid electronic payments. When the payment doesn't come out on the exact day the payment was set, why does it become a problem for the preparer?

Not a problem for the preparer, except it makes up look like dummies when what we tell them will happen, ends up not happening.

Hopefully people that want direct debit keep enough money in their accounts that it sholdn't be an issue if the funds are pulled later than scheduled, but you know people.....

I have the same problem with my own tax return, debit for estimated tax scheduled for 4/15 through Pro Series Basic has not occurred as of today 4/21. Return was Accepted by IRS 4/4. The bank info is all accurate.

In addition, one of my clients contacted me today that her balance due debit scheduled for 4/16 has not occurred yet as of 4/21. Her bank info is correct and a different bank than mine.

I've been on hold with the IRS number for 45 minutes now. Have regularly scheduled direct debits and never had a problem until this year.

"This year" is exactly the problem. There is nothing normal about this filing season. Think of what IRS has had to deal with since January 1 - two stimulus payouts and The American Rescue Plan Act which required changes to the 2020 tax laws.

Why is anyone surprised by what is happening ???????
