Underpayment Penalty and software actions

I checked the block with the filing date to figure the amount I owe and it populates.  Then under review it changes and asks me to check the box for IRS to calculate and send me a bill (or wait until early Feb for an update).  Why is the software doing this?  What type of update are we waiting for?  Software or IRS?  The result is additional interest as days go by.  Should I trust the IRS calculation will be the same as what the software presents?
