How to verify my e-payment to IRS?

There seems to be some delay with the IRS withdrawing the funds. There will be no penalties or interest if the IRS failed to make the debit on time as long as the request was done correctly on a timely filed return. Please check your Filing Instruction Page that you entered the correct information.

In TurboTax Online, sign into your account.
Select Tax Home in the left menu.
Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents.
Select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this opens the return back up)
Select Tax Tools on the left and then Print Center and choose the print center

Also, you can view your balance and check your payment activity at View Your Account Information.

Please see When will my tax payment go through? for additional information.

Field tax returns on April 16th. Expected Turbo Tax to pull money from checking and transfer to IRS. Money were never pulled and not transferred to IRS. Penalty was issued by IRS. Please explain reason why money were not transferred. Thank you.

Federal taxes owed were due and payable on April 15, 2025. Since you paid the taxes after that date the IRS assessed a failure to pay penalty.

TurboTax does not pay the IRS.

If you selected to pay the federal taxes owed by direct debit from your bank account, the routing and account numbers were sent with your e-filed federal tax return. The IRS debits your account based on the information entered on your tax return.

Did the IRS accept your e-filed federal tax return?

You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large button labeled "Transmit my returns now".

After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.

Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.
