(If you’re filing your taxes on July 15 and are having direct debit issues, go here.)
During non-peak times, funds are usually withdrawn on the payment date you specify, assuming your e-filed return has already been accepted (received) by the IRS.
If that date happens to fall on a weekend or federal holiday, the funds are typically withdrawn the next business day.
Now, if you filed right before (or on) the busy July 15, 2020 deadline, the IRS may not be able to debit your payment until after the deadline, due to high e-filing volume. In addition, it can take your bank another few days to post the debit to your account.
No worries; as long as you filed your return or extension on or before July 15, 2020 and you selected July 15, 2020 (or earlier) as your payment date, you won't get penalized for late payment.
In the meantime, keep an eye on your bank account — if you still don't see the debit 7–10 days after your return has been accepted, call IRS e-file Payment Services at 1-888-353-4537 or contact your state tax agency, as appropriate.
Another thing you might check, is to download a NEW PDF copy of your tax returns. Then look for the separate "Electronic Filing Instructions in the Federal and State section of that new PDF file.....check the Bank routing and account numbers to make sure they are correct. (In past years, some Bank of America routing numbers are different for a D.Debit than is shown on their checks..not sure that is still the case or not).
But the Fed and State D.Debit info should show separately on both of those Filing Instructions forms...(examples are from prior years, but still in effect for the current software):
