I am e-filing my 2021 tax return tonite and I owe the IRS. Do I need to wait till my return is accepted to set up a direct deposit?

The balance due was supposed to be paid last April when you filed the extension so if you are filing the return now make the payment ASAP as the penalties and interest are piling up daily. Acceptance of the return is irrelevant. Pay online at www.IRS.gov/pay or set up a direct debit in the FILE tab when you efile.
Your extension only gave you extra time to prepare and file your Form 1040---it did not give you extra time to pay your tax due. You were supposed to pay the estimated tax due by April 15. Pay asap. TurboTax will not calculate your interest or penalties for late payment; the IRS will bill you later after they receive your return and the amount that you pay now.
If you have federal tax due you can pay by mailing your payment with the 1040V voucher, (which has the address printed on it, having the payment taken out of a designated bank account, or you can pay directly on the IRS website.
