E-File and Paying online to IRS

If you need to pay 1040 tax and E-File with purchased Turbo Tax, it appears paying online via IRS website with no fee method is best all round option. I read when E-Filing the IRS notifies email within 48 hours of receiving return. If IRS detects errors, it will send error code that TurboTax will translate to text message about problem and how to fix and how to Retransmit your return.
My question is: I surmise it prudent to wait about 3 days after my E-File has been accepted (as IRS checks for errors ) before I pay online? (as long as the Tax isn't due immediately)

Appreciate any input or comments.
