What should I do if my payment fails or is incorrect?

If your payment didn’t go through, common reasons include:

  • Incorrect bank information

  • Insufficient funds

  • Payment scheduled after 8 p.m. ET cutoff

  • Internet or system interruptions during submission

If you made an incorrect payment, contact the IRS directly:

  • Individuals: 1-800-829-1040

  • Businesses: 1-800-829-4933

EFTPS cannot reverse payments once processed.
