Are we *still* awaiting IRS guidance on how to change our tax payment/direct debit date to align with the new May 17 deadline?

ok got it. this is pretty different from the previous guidance that noted Turbotax was "waiting" on the IRS to provide guidance on how to amend the payment date.

So it sounds like no one is waiting for any ability to amend through Turbotax, users just need to deal directly with Federal Gov and State Gov to cancel and book new payment dates

correct?

Yes, that is correct. There is not a way to amend the date through TurboTax for tax returns that have already been filed. You will need to go directly to the IRS and your applicable state(s).

Yes, we are still waiting on some changes to be made to allow the 5/17 payment date to be accepted via e-file. You can Sign up here for updates.

Please see this for more information: Why am I unable to choose payment dates after 4/15/2021 for taxes due

i mean.....is there an easy option to say just "refile" and change the payment date?

Doesn't seem like any forward progress is being made on the ability to amend payment date (unless you advise differently)

The filing date of May 17, 2021 is available using TurboTax. So any payment date on or before 05/17 can be used if you have updated your software using the desktop editions.
