Pay taxes due

I am pretty sure I know the answer to this, but I just want to make sure. I have prepared a clients tax return and they owe. Efiled and accepted. They called me today to ask if I can schedule the payment to come out of their bank account automatically. My thoughts "(I could have if you had chose that option before the efile was sent)"

They can make their own payment:

Depending on the client and how tech savvy or not they are, I go to IRS DirectPay and schedule payments for clients from time to time...I can whip through it in less than 5 minutes, easier than having them get stuck and call me to help over the phone.

I give my clients the payment voucher, the 1040V,  and let them take care of it themselves. Why would I want to take on additional responsibility and get involved with electronically wiring the money. That is not my job.

I did tell my client to go to the irs website for direct pay and it shows that I efiled the taxes but does not show an amount due!! I have never used that option before so I was not sure how to advise them
