Direct Withdraw from Savings

My Federal return as well as my State (GA) return were both accepted on February 12th, 2024. I opted for the direct payment option to pay taxes that I owed. I entered my bank account info so that the payment could be withdrawn from my savings account. It is now March 5th, 2024 and the IRS still hasn't taken out the money. I called Turbo tax and spoke to an agent who informed me that they could see I entered my bank account info and I just simply needed to wait as it could take up to 21 days for the IRS to take the money. It has been more than 21 days now and I just want to make sure I'm okay. Is this something people have experienced taking a little longer than it should?

Did you actually enter a date for the payment to be taken out?  If you did not enter a specific date, it will default to the filing deadline of April 15, 2024.
