This Electronic Funds Withdrawal (EFW) payment option cannot be used for making federal tax deposits. Deposits can be submitted using the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS). For more information refer to the tax form Instructions for each respective form.

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. 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.

To revoke or cancel an EFW payment, the taxpayer should contact the IRS E-file Payment Inquiry and Cancellation Service at 1-888-353-4537. Wait at least ten (10) days from when the IRS e-file return was accepted before calling.
