Why are e-filed returns automatic tax payments scheduled for May 17th not being withdrawn from bank?

[JaUrbanski]

I just received a note from a client asking why the payments scheduled for May 17th were not drawn from his bank.  The return was e-filed early in April.  The 9325 shows that the electronic funds withdrawal payment was accepted for processing.

Could this be a failure in the program like the failure related to quarterly estimated payments for 2021?  Any other thoughts/advice?

There are numerous threads discussing the fact that the IRS is behind on withdrawing funds.   They'll get around to it...

You can call the EFT phone number on the 8879 and verify that the payment has been scheduled.
