Tax Payment Returned

What is the name of your state? Texas

Due to a stupid error on my part, the check that I wrote to the IRS for my 2002 taxes was returned for non-sufficient funds. There was only one attempt at clearing for the check but that was over a week ago. Does anyone know if the check will be submitted again for payment? If not or if it will not, does anyone knows what I do now? Thanks!

The one and only check I've ever bounced was my federal income tax payment in 1987. I was a broke 18 year old and never had more than a couple of dollars cushion in my account. Ah well, live and learn.

Anyway, it was presented twice. Bounced the first time and cleared the second time. I never heard a word about it from the IRS, and my bank charged whatever fee was standard at that time (I think $20).

I wish I were fortunate enough to say that I am only 18 and broke but, alas, that is not the case! Anyway, do you, by any chance, remember about how long it took for the second time it was sent through?

Thank you so much for your help. It really calms my nerves a bit!!

I think it was about a week, but don't quote me on that.
