    Payment issue

    pmlovitz

    Hello,

    I worked on a trust that owed both federal and state tax.  The state tax was taken on 4/15/25, but the federal tax was not taken.  The federal should have been taken the same day.  I have checked the return, and I selected the option of direct withdrawal.  Should I send a check?  Should I wait for a notice?  I want to stop the late payment and interest.  Suggestions?

     

    Thanks

    Peter

    Are we up to a dozen posts yet, asking the same question that repeats itself every year?  What I don't understand is, if people don't trust the system, why do they use it?

    Call the phone number on the 8879 and see if theres a record of it being scheduled.

    I have one client with three trusts and all owe federal money. E-filed 4/10 to be withdrawn 4/14.

    All accepted, still waiting for the debits.

    @Accountant-Man Id call the number on the 8879, see if its in the system as scheduled, if its been 8 days and no debit, Im thinking the scheduled payment didnt get picked up.properly.

    I just noticed the same thing with my trust clients that were supposed to have auto w/d of extension payments.  Proseries is now showing an error in the 7004.  Is it possible the error caused an issue with the payment w/d?  I am thinking the payment should have been taken out by now.

    The 7004 shows an error now becasue we're past the date you have chosen for the payment to be taken.

    The error is not related to the date.  The error relates to entering the officer name.  That error was not there when we efiled.

    Client just notified me the 1041 extension payment I e-filed on Apr15th is now showing as pending by the bank.     FINALLY !

    I was getting worried I had done something wrong.
