Electronic funds withdrawal (EFW) for superseded returns

Electronic funds withdrawal (EFW) is not available with an electronically filed superseded return.
If the taxpayer wants to pay a balance due for a superseded return using an electronic method, such as pay directly from their bank account for free, or with a credit or debit card for a fee, refer to https://www.irs.gov/payments for additional information on these and other electronic payment options or how to pay from a mobile device. If a payment is scheduled for the superseded balance due via an electronic method, you don't need to send a check to the IRS for the same balance due.
