My federal return was accepted on 3/30/25. I have logged into the IRS site several times and it still says processing. Is this normal?

I owe and the amount is not showing up on the IRS site. Just says still processing, but seems like a long time. I would like to set up a payment plan, but it will not let me. Please advise.

If you have taxes owed, the IRS website for the status of a federal tax refund will not show you anything concerning your tax payment - https://www.irs.gov/refunds

If you selected direct debit from a bank account to pay the federal tax owed -

Call IRS e-file Payment Services 24/7 at 888-353-4537 to inquire about or cancel your payment, but please wait 7 to 10 days after your return was accepted before calling.

Or go to your IRS tax account for the status of your payment - https://www.irs.gov/payments/online-account-for-individuals

Even though it still says Processing?  I didn't choose direct debit for the payment.  I did go onto the site and it shows this when I go to "Account Balance":
