Thanks, CatinaT1, but your link does not tell me how to change the preset date 4/15/2020 in TurboTax. I haven’t filed yet, just entered data. Somehow, the updates don’t change the date to 7/15/2020. Any more ideas?
The TurboTax software has not yet been changed to reflect the new dates that were just announced 4 days ago. Until the IRS has changed the dates in their systems to accept a payment date after April 15 and on or before July 15 TurboTax cannot change the software dates.
If you want to e-file your 2019 tax return now you will have to change your payment method to pay by check instead of direct debit. Then you can either print and mail the payment voucher with your payment before July 15 or you can go to the IRS payment website to pay the federal taxes owed - https://www.irs.gov/payments
The IRS website will only accept a payment date 30 days from the current date so you would have to wait until mid June if you wanted to pay on July 15.
