A week after efiling, client decides they don't want IRS payment auto. withdrawn from their bank account. Is there any way to change it now? I told client to call IRS to cancel it. IRS told client efiler would have to stop it. Anyone know how to handle this? Or are they just stuck with the withdrawal?

I have the opposite problem. Client wants the EFT and I cannot get it to go through on IRS website. Maybe we need to trade clients!

There is a phone number on the 8879 they can call to cancel it.

Recommendation - stop paying client's taxes. Too many things can go wrong and malpractice issues are not worth it. The client can pay online through the IRS direct pay system. Takes two minutes and saves you a lots of headaches like you both are having.

I am not paying the client's taxes. The withdrawal is coming directly from their own bank account. Now they decided they want to pay via other method.

[Sarcastic] duh... I know that, but you're facilitating the payment I'm just giving advice from a 40-year preparer that it's not worth the headache. I'm trying (sometime even successfully) to get my clients to take responsibility for this.

I gave them that number but they called the regular IRS number. I'm hoping another call will fix this for them.

I've been doing taxes for over 45 years and this is a first for me that customer changed their mind about payment.
