Tax payment

I filed my taxes two days ago and I owe money. I entered my bank info as instructed by Turbotax. The money has not yet been drawn from my account. How long does it take for that payment to go thru?

    As I provided the bank info on my return I expected the IRS to pull the money from my account. Am I wrong in this?

    If you entered your bank routing and account number for a direct debit of the taxes owed, the IRS will debit your account.  If you did Not provide a date for the debit from the account then the IRS will not debit the account until April 18, 2022.

    It depends on what status your return is in.  Is it still Pending?  The money will not be drafted if so.  For more details, please see the Help Article here under the topic Do You Owe Taxes?

    I went on the IRS website and it says my 2021 return has not been processed (although it was accepted last Wednesday). So I just wait???

    After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.
