Question

Filing due date changed to May 17th

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

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