- The IRS will withdraw the funds on the due dates for the selected estimated tax payments.
- Only set up EFW for quarters with estimates due to avoid errors in e-filing.
- When you file an electronic extension and choose to make estimated tax payments through EFW, be careful when filing your final tax return. Don't change the payment codes for those same estimated tax payments. If you do, the IRS might withdraw the money twice by mistake.
- If you've already set up EFW payments with your extension (shown by code 2 in any of the quarterly fields), keep those codes when you file your final return.
- Don't switch to code 1 for those payments on your final return.
- If you need to change your estimated tax payment details after submitting your extension, go to the Pay taxes by electronic funds withdrawal page of the IRS website and review the Cancellation, Errors and Questions section.
