If I set up direct debit with the payment plan in TurboTax, why did the email I got saying it was accepted say that I had to mail a check and a form?

I'm asking as all the answers in TurboTax community were from 3 years ago and/or had conflicting information, some answers said yes, some said no.

Ok...if you indicated you were going to make an initial payment then it must be mailed in ...review the voucher & instructions that prints out with the return...only the future payments are debited once the payment plan has been activated .
