I selected to have my payment made via direct debit but the filing instructions printed a form and state I need to mail a payment. How can I verify whether or not the payment will be debited so I don't double pay?

If the forms that were printed were Forms 1040-ES those are used for making estimated tax payments for your 2020 taxes and are optional for you to use. The Form 1040-ES is not reported to the IRS.

If the form was a Form 1040-V that is the payment voucher to be used when mailing a check to the IRS. It is not used if you are having the federal taxes owed paid using direct debit from your bank account.

It is the form 1040-V, but I elected to pay via direct debit. There's no date on the filing instructions as to when its due which is why I have the confusion. Is there a way to find out if the direct debit will be the payment method or if it wasn't "approved" (For lack of a better term) and I need to send a check. The State form shows the direct debit, but the federal does not.

How you chose to pay the federal taxes owed and the date of payment will be on the Federal Filing Instructions page included with your tax return.
