Now that the date for filing federal taxes has been extended to 7/15, is it possible to change the scheduled date for automatic withdrawal of taxes from my checking account if I e-filed?

You will have to cancel the payment and then pay the federal taxes owed on the IRS payment website on or before July 15, 2020.

IRS website for information on canceling a direct debit payment -https://www.irs.gov/payments/pay-taxes-by-electronic-funds-withdrawal

Once your return is accepted, information pertaining to your payment, such as account information, payment date, or amount, cannot be changed. If changes are needed, the only option is to cancel the payment and choose another payment method.
Call IRS e-file Payment Services 24/7 at 1-888-353-4537 to inquire about or cancel your payment, but please wait 7 to 10 days after your return was accepted before calling.
Cancellation requests must be received no later than 11:59 p.m. ET two business days prior to the scheduled payment date.

Go to this IRS payment website and choose Direct Pay - https://www.irs.gov/payments

Seriously, we pay big $ to use TurboTax and expect that they can handle a simple task like allowing us update the automatic withdrawal date using your software. There are millions of users of TurboTax that must be effected by the change of date allowed by the IRS, the answer to call a number at the IRS is simply ludicrous. Does TurboTax think that this is a real solution when it effects so many of their customers. I filed early and trusted that TurboTax could handle this simple change. It appears that your CEO needs to have a call with Steven Mnuchin.

You are asking for the IRS to change their requirements on how to cancel a payment. Call the IRS.
