Tax Payment — will IRS delay cashing check?

By Terry Savage on March 20, 2021 | Wild Card

We filed our 2020 taxes before the May 17 deadline was announced. We owe money that was set to come out on April 15. Will that money still come out on April 15 or will it come out May 17?

Thank you!

It will likely come out as soon as the return is reviewed. I have never heard of “Post-dating” a check to the IRS! Maybe I’m wrong, but most people who owe wait until the last minute to pay! I suggest you have the money ready in your account asap! You don’t want to bounce a check for your taxes!!
