• When a taxpayer has a federal or state balance due, they may pay by a direct debit from their bank account.
  • Payment information is entered on the E-file section, in the Bank Account page – see page 122 for details.
    • Note: To print federal direct-debit details, print either: 
      • Direct Debit print set, page 1.
      • The client summary page, which is page 3 of the full return (printed from within the return).
  • The taxpayer can revoke (cancel) their federal direct debit by contacting the U.S. Treasury Financial Agent at 888-353-4537, an automated system. However, the call must be made no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time two business days prior to the scheduled payment date.
  • Note for CA returns: A scheduled direct debit on an e-filed California state tax return can be cancelled; follow the instructions on CA Form 8455.
  • Returns (regular and amended) e-filed after the regular filing deadline: for these returns, IRS computers are programmed to do direct debit immediately upon processing the return.
    • Warning: this happens even if the filing deadline has been extended due to a federally declared emergency.
