I filed electronically and chose direct debit for the same day. I did not print the Intuit confirmation/coverage page. I immediately found documents I missed & filed the amendment. My new confirmation only lists the additional amount I owe as a result of the amendment, not including the original amount. I cannot find the original amount anywhere and no money has been taken from our account for our tax payment (4 days later).
In a normal season, the IRS will debit your account on the date you specified or soon after. We have had several reports of the IRS not debiting accounts on the scheduled date. Just be patient -- the IRS will take your money!
If you want to check the debit date you specified, look on the filing instructions for your return. It will tell you the debit date the IRS or State will deduct the payment. If you did not print them out you can view them using the following steps:

The IRS does take some time to withdraw funds. They are backlogged. Try waiting up to a few days before the May 17 deadline before prompting a secondary means of payment. Otherwise, it could end up that you double pay and then have to wait for a refund.
To determine if there is a problem, check your account here: IRS: View Your Tax Account Information.
If the payment has still not been withdrawn and you are within a few days of May 17, go to IRS Paying Your Taxes for options or see 2020 Form 1040 Instructions, page 62. Payment options include:
mailing in a payment using Form 1040-V Payment Voucher, or
by using either Direct Pay or
by using the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS).
