I just filed my return for 2021. I scheduled a payment from my checking account for the amount I owe IRS. Can I change this paymt? I paid in the meanwhile via Credit Card

Go to this IRS website for how to cancel a direct debit payment - https://www.irs.gov/payments/pay-taxes-by-electronic-funds-withdrawal

• Once your return is accepted, information pertaining to your payment, such as account information, payment date, or amount, cannot be changed. If changes are needed, the only option is to cancel the payment and choose another payment method.
• Call IRS e-file Payment Services 24/7 at 1-888-353-4537 to inquire about or cancel your payment, but please wait 7 to 10 days after your return was accepted before calling.
• Cancellation requests must be received no later than 11:59 p.m. ET two business days prior to the scheduled payment date.

No, once your return has been efiled and accepted you can not change the payment unless the return is rejected.  In that case you would be able to change your payment method and re-file.
