    Annnd..it cannot be initiated until the Federal ..or state tax agency involved have "accepted" your tax file (either or both) .

    Transmitting your file is not enough, nor is "received by"....it has to be "accepted".  Double-Check here:

    IF it has been accepted, save a new copy of your tax file as a PDF , and look at the appropriate "Electronic Filing Instructions...." sheet.  The Debit information account #, routing number, and dates are on those sheets.  Check those numbers ...If those sheets don't show that a debit has been entered, then they won't happen and you have to pay separately...Examples shown below:
