To all who have filed a balance due return and are requesting the IRS for state take the balance dues by direct debit. First TurboTax does not make the payments. They only pass along the payment information with the return to the taxing authority. Due to staffing shortages and too much to do expect the debit to happen anytime on or after the date you requested. Simply write that amount out of your account and expect it to go at any time. Just like last year, balance due returns are on the back burner for processing. There is nothing you or TurboTax can do to speed up the process. Patience will be required again this year.
Double check that your return was accepted for processing and that the debit information that you entered is correct. Review the filing instruction page for the fed and or state for the debit information you entered. If the information is incorrect the debit will not happen and you will get a bill for the unpaid balance due. If this is your situation making a payment now would be wise. Payment to the FED can be made at irs.gov/payment and for your state please check your state's website.
