IRS Responses

By Terry Savage on January 27, 2025 | Wild Card

I sent in (by check) my Jan 15, 2025 estimated tax payment the first week in January. As of yet (Jan 27th) the IRS has not cashed the check. Should I be worried?

Terry Says

Yes you should be worried! Unless you sent the check by registered mail with return receipt requested. As I do myself, and have always advised. Or unless you used IRS Direct Pay online service.

Now you just have to wait and hope it didn’t go astray.
