When does the payment gets withdrawn from my bank account for the EFW payment option?

If you choose Electronic Funds Withdrawal (EFW) to pay your tax balance, here's what you need to know:

• Your payment will be withdrawn on the “Payment Request Date.”
  
  This is usually the same day you transmit your return through TaxBandits—unless you choose a different date.
   

• What if the Payment Request Date is on a weekend or holiday?
  
  The IRS will take the payment out on the next business day.
   

• What if the payment doesn’t go through right away?
  
  Don’t worry—it can take some time. If your return is accepted but the payment hasn’t been withdrawn, wait at least 10 days before contacting the IRS.
   

• Who should I contact if the payment is still missing?
  
  You can reach the IRS e-file Payment Service at 1-888-353-4537. But first, check your return summary in your TaxBandits account to make sure your bank account info was entered correctly.
