Your date of payment stays valid.  It may take the IRS up to 10 days to debit your account during this time of the tax season.

 

  • Call IRS e-file Payment Services 24/7 at 888-353-4537 to inquire about or cancel your payment, but please wait 7 to 10 days after your return was accepted before calling.

I would wait for a couple of days. Even though things are done electronically, there may be a backlog in the IRS computers this time of year that may slow down the debiting process. I have seen this happen numerous times in the past.

 

Since your state was debited, you can be sure the IRS has the same information. If you are concerned about a late payment, don't be concerned. Your return was time-stamped when you sent it, so your payment is not in arrears.
