Saturday 04/04/2020, I worked on my taxes and Elected to pay my balance due by Direct Debit on 04/04, using the same checking information as last year - nothing has changed. Turbo Tax also e-mailed me that the IRS has accepted my return and also my State has accepted the Return.
It is Wednesday 04/08/2020 and the IRS still hasn't debited my Checking account. My State debited my Checking account on Monday this week (04/06).
Given that all information is correct, is there anything I should be concerned with regarding this delay? Or, at what point should I start getting concerned?
What doesn't need to happen is that something is broken in the backend systems between Intuit and the IRS and no one knows anything about it until I get a bill in the mail from the IRS for the balance due with this pending Debit still sitting out there, unprocessed.
If this had processed timely (as it has for the State Filing), I would have never started this conversation. I think the IRS should have debited me by now.
