Question

sorry for the run-on sentence

Answer 1

The IRS is pretty quick at cashing your check when you are paying your taxes! We sent in our return one year on a Wed, and by Friday the check was already posted to our account! However, one year when we had to make monthly payments to the IRS, those checks would take longer to reach our bank--it seemed like they did not post until a week after we mailed the check.

I would say the beginning of next week expect it to be withdrawn from your account if you mailed it on April 17.

Answer 2

The IRS will process the check the same day the Post Office gets your return to them. That is why they have one PO Box for returns containing checks and another for returns without checks. Depending on your bank, the check could clear the same day.

Answer 3

I sent one on the 10th, and they scarfed that up on the 17th. It depends on which IRS office it was sent to, some are faster at processing your payment than others. When I called last year they said anywhere from 2 to 21 business days. Sounds like gov't double speak to me!

Answer 4

They cash them right away. They don't spend the time checking over your return first. They take the money, check the return later.

Answer 5

Will likely clear this coming week sometime.
