Taxes: Insufficient funds for electronic federal tax payments

If there are insufficient funds in your bank account on the payment date of a federal e-payment, the IRS will reject the payment. In most cases, the IRS will notify us about the unsuccessful payment. We'll inform you about the unsuccessful payment, so you can create it again.

While the IRS notifies us for most unsuccessful e-payments, we can’t guarantee this will always be the case. If you confirm that an e-payment was unsuccessful, please contact us for assistance. We’ll delete the unsuccessful payment so you can create it again.
