Are others experiencing a delay in the IRS debiting their bank accounts? I filed an extension Friday and scheduled an ACH debit for same day but nothing has hit yet

I went through the process of setting up an ACH debit from my bank account to be paid to the IRS last Friday.  The transaction has not been processed yet and now I'm looking for proof that I the transaction was initiated, but am unable to locate it anywhere in my TurboTax account.  I'm concerned that the payment will not be made today and that i will be penalized by the IRS

The IRS is backlogged and is not able to process returns as quickly as they have been able to process them in normal times.   They do want your payment and will debit your account when they process your return—it just might not happen on the date you requested.  Keep the funds available in your account and watch for the withdrawal.

Thank you!  Then so as long as I have confirmation that my extension request has been accepted and my Tax Due is listed at $0 in my TurboTax account, I will assume I can rest easy.  Much appreciated!!
