Direct debit payment

[Dave T]

Client just texted wanting to know if direct debit date can be changed? Return was submitted and accepted with a scheduled payment date of 4/14/23. She would like to change the date to 4/18 but I believe that once the return is accepted that's it.

Any thoughts?

Thank you

Correct.  She can contact her bank to see if they can refuse payment similar to a stop payment on check.

The IRS has a  1-800 number you can call

I believe that would probably incur a $75 penalty. The IRS has a 1-800 number you can call to make changes.

"Call IRS e-file Payment Services 24/7 at 888-353-4537 to inquire about or cancel your payment,

but please wait 7 to 10 days after your return was accepted before calling."

Thank you. Yes, this was filed a couple of weeks ago.
