Federal electronic withdrawal set up but hasn't occurred, now what?

[Futch2010]

Client's return was e-filed yesterday and requested electronic withdrawal of payment yesterday as well.  The client states that the money has not come out of the checking account yet.  What should I tell him to do at this point?  Or what is there I can do to help him?

[Accountant-Man]

Take a deep breath. The withdrawal isn't instantaneous.

Tell him to have patience, 3 million other people scheduled withdrawals for today as well, they wont all happen at once.

If you scheduled the withdrawal by the due date it is considered paid on time regardless of when the actual withdrawal occurs
