[ETax847]

Efiled a client's return that has been accepted by the IRS. Client had set up electronic payments for making his estimated payments but has subsequently lost his job. How can I stop / amend the rest of the payments?

[Lynn EA USTCP in Louisiana]

The client will have to make the telephone call - from the IRS website regarding 'pay taxes by electronic funds withdrawal'

Cancellations, Errors and Questions:

• Once your return is accepted, information pertaining to your payment, such as account information, payment date or amount, cannot be changed. If changes are needed, the only option is to cancel the payment and choose another payment method.
• Call IRS e-file Payment Services at 1-888-353-4537 to inquire about or cancel a payment, or to report problems such as bank closures, lost or stolen bank account numbers, closed bank accounts, or unauthorized transactions. If calling to inquire about your payment, wait 7 to 10 days after your return was accepted before calling. Customer Service is available 24/7.
• Cancellation requests must be received no later than 11:59 p.m. ET two business days prior to the scheduled payment date.
• If a payment is returned by your financial institution (e.g., due to insufficient funds, incorrect account information, closed account, etc.) the IRS will mail a notification letter to the address we have on file for you, explaining why the payment could not be processed, and providing alternate payment options. For questions regarding the letter, please call 1-888-353-4537.
• In the event your financial institution is unable to process your payment request, you will be responsible for making other payment arrangements, and for any penalties and interest incurred.
• Contact the IRS immediately at 1-800-829-1040 if there is an error in the amount withdrawn.
• In the event Treasury causes an incorrect amount of funds to be withdrawn from a bank account, Treasury will return any improperly transferred funds.
