Filing due date changed to May 17th

[Dlillien]

The new due date for filing our taxes is May 17th.  Why doesn't my Turbo Tax give me that option.  I would rather file May 17th instead of April 15th. 

Thank you,

The IRS E-file Servers have not yet been updated for Tax due payment dates up until 5/17/21. TurboTax's product team expects to hear when The IRS will have their e-file servers updated on Monday, March 22, 2021. At that point, changes to TurboTax can be made.

Hi,

I tried to submit my taxes today 03/23 but Turbo Tax wouldn't let me change the submittal date from 04/15/2021 to 05/17/2021 (new extension).  Has Turbo Tax been updated to reflect the new date? 

Thanks,

Dean

Please visit the TurboTax Help article below regarding the new extension. 

Why am I unable to choose payment dates after 4/15...

Had the same issue. Just filed today and didn't have the option to schedule a payment beyond April 15th.

March 22nd has passed and still not updated.  When is the next update expected?

Hi,

What is the update regarding this? When can we expect to be able filling after April 15 on TurboTax? 

Thanks

You should be able to file now.  Please see the Help Article here for more details.

If you are using the CD version of the software, you may need to manually update. To do this, please see the Help Article here to walk you through that process.

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback. But it does not answer my question. In the Help Article linked above, it says:

• What do I do if I want to schedule my payment for after April 15? The IRS hasn't updated their systems to accept payments after April 15, so right now, there's no way to change the date. Check back soon for updates.

This is basically my question: When will it be possible to fill and schedule a payment for after April 15 with a direct debit from my bank account?

In TurboTax CD/Download it appears the May 17th date has been included.  Please be sure to update the software which is automatically done when you sign out and sign back into your software.  You can also select 'Online' in the top menu, then select 'Check for Updates'.

Paying when filing electronically (and you want to change the payment date after filing):

Taxpayers who filed electronically and scheduled their payment with an Electronic Funds Withdrawal, and want to reschedule their payment to another date, can call the IRS e-file Payment Services automated line at 888-353-4537 to cancel their payment no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern time two business days prior to the scheduled payment date. This means taxpayers who originally scheduled their payment on April 15 and want to reschedule it for a later time, need to take action no later than Tuesday, April 13 at midnight Eastern time. Taxpayers are reminded that they will need to schedule their tax payment for the new tax deadline ending on May 17th.

You can always file your payment by mail after e-file or mail the return with the payment.

Has this update been applied to all turbotax products.  I have the Home and Business 2020 product and I am still unable to choose a direct debit date greater than 04/15/2021.  I have done multiple updates, the latest 03/31/2021 with no success.

Try the update again.  The update takes a few minutes then it will open with the May17th date.
