Can the electronic funds withdrawal date be changed after the return is accepted by IRS?

Depends on the date it was scheduled for and depends on how long you are willing to wait on hold with the IRS.

The community has answered this question countless times if you care to look around a little bit.

Well gee thanks.

This is no help.

Why isn't it helpful?  If you scheduled the payment for tomorrow, you aren't going to stop it.  If you scheduled it for April 15th, you have time to cancel it.  But in any case somebody is going to have to get on the phone with the IRS and with everybody trying to do the same thing you are trying, those phone lines are going to be busy.

I guess I am an old dog that has done this too many years.  This is my 48th year of doing taxes and I take the time to read the questions in the community every day to see if something can further educate me or give me the information to help one of my clients.
