I'm trying to wrap up my taxes and make a payment for Federal Taxes. Turbo Tax is giving me an error saying the date I select for payment cannot be today (04/15/2019).

The instructions on TT say: "If you transmit your return to the Intuit Electronic Filing Center on or after April 15, 2019, the requested payment date must be the day you transmit the return. If you send your return after April 15, 2019, you may be subject to late payment penalties and interest charges."
