Unfortunately, the last response is nowhere near an answer to the question posed.

Since the change to the filing date and the payment date was only announced 4 days ago on March 20, it takes awhile to get the software updated across the desktop and online editions for the personal, professional and business programs. Then TurboTax has to wait until the IRS has changed their systems to accept payment dates after April 15, 2020 and on or before July 15, 2020 for a 2019 tax return, otherwise the tax return would be rejected by the IRS. This date change affects all tax preparation software companies and paid tax professionals who provide e-filing for their clients.

Since Turbo Tax doesn't update with the IRS, you can continue to track your refund status at the IRS Where's my Refund site.

Unfortunately that is not the answer to the question. The question is when will the Turbo Tax software be updated to allow for a direct debit beyond the April 15th date as approved by the government. All I need is for the updates, which occur nearly every time I open the program to include the option for self selecting a date beyond April 15th.

With the extension, you will need to contact the IRS directly to schedule a payment beyond the April 15th deadline. They will be able to assist you over the phone.

Yeap, make an update to select date past April 15th, or I'm not filing thought you.

Doubtful you will find any other tax preparation software that has already been updated to the new dates for 2019 since the change was only announced two days ago.

The extension to pay the taxes owed is automatic if you have 2019 federal taxes owed. The taxes owed do not have to be paid until July 15, 2020

However, you still must file your 2019 tax return on or before April 15, 2020 to avoid the failure to file penalties.

When filing your 2019 tax return select the option to pay the 2019 tax with a check. Then continue and e-file your tax return.

Then on or before July 15, 2020 go to the IRS payment website and use Direct Pay to the pay the taxes owed - https://www.irs.gov/payments
