I was one who waited for many weeks last year before the IRS finally deducted my payment. If I were you, would not worry just yet. Most banks put your debit in a “pending” status when they first receive the debit request from the IRS (or from any direct payment request). If you can, check your bank status to see if it is “pending”. For what it is worth, my payment this year was more timely. On the same day I authorized the payment, my bank showed it as pending. Again, that is not deducted, but in the queue to be deducted and will be deducted in a few days. Hope that helps.
