@Critter-3 - not in NC... I see exactly what this taxpayer is trying to do and why.
The Dept of Revenue moved the tax return due date to May 17.
However, it has no authority to waive any interest and penalties if you pay what is owed after April 15.
So if you want to submit the return on May 17 and avoid any penalties and interest, then you have to pay by April 15th. So on today I pay at the state website and on May 17th I mail in (or e-file) the tax return.
