You should enter the correct payment dates. If an underpayment penalty is calculated, but you met the extended dates for disaster relief, then the IRS and Franchise Tax Board have agreed not to assess the penalty.
Because the Federal and state extended filing deadlines are available only for individuals living in areas impacted by official disaster declarations during specified dates, the deadlines themselves aren't updated in the software. The tax agencies made an administrative decision not to impose the penalties, but since the law itself didn't change, tax software including TurboTax still calculates the penalties.
The IRS automatically provides filing and penalty relief to any taxpayer with an IRS address of record located in the disaster area. Therefore, taxpayers do not need to contact the agency to get this relief. However, if an affected taxpayer receives a late filing or late payment penalty notice from the IRS that has an original or extended filing, payment, or deposit due date falling within the postponement period, the taxpayer should call the number on the notice to have the penalty abated.

If you get a notice from the IRS proposing to assess the penalty, see this IRS webpage for guidelines and next steps.
