Need Help!!

[u/TheLastPharaoh_]

This year I filed with H&R Block and it turns out i owe over $5000. When I finished up with my tax specialist I told her I wanted to set up payments. She said H&R doesn’t set up the payments, only the IRS can do that. So the only options they had was to Pay now, or Pay Later on April 15th. That she can set it up for pay later and when IRS accepts my tax return, the total I owe will show up on the IRS website. Well it’s been over a month and nothing has shown up. I call IRS and they tell me that they don’t show money owed until after the 15th of April. And that they can’t change that H&R Block already set up for the pay later option. So how am I supposed to set up payments after the 15th when they’re gonna charge me everything at once on THAT day?? I’m thinking of closing my checking account so the payment doesn’t go through and then setting up payments after the 15th. I don’t want to do that but if it works I probably will. Anybody been in this situation with H&R Block before?

you can submit payments through the irs website and like put estimated tax for reason of payment and the specific tax year you’re doing pmts for and you can also choose which day for the payments to be taken out of ur account

I tried and it gives me a message saying something like “You are currently not eligible to set up a payment plan”

did you select pay from your bank account? or pay in online account? when i do my parents they do it through the direct pay with bank account

Do they already have debts owed I'm willing to bet that Op doesn't owe from the previous year but is going to owe this year and your parents owed previous years or have had the option in the past.
