Yes, you are correct. There are no options in TurboTax to pay in advance beyond the original due date when filing before the due date. You can select a date for direct debit on/before the original due date prior to 18 Apr or the date of filing, if filing after the due date.
You can however select "Pay by check" and then use the IRS.gov site to set up the direct debit payment in advance after filing your return. The IRS automatically suspends late fees/interest for those in the affected areas for the delay.
Here is the IRS announcement for reference. Also here is the IRS "Make a Payment" link.
So there will not be an update to TurboTax to allow for us to pick a payment day beyond 18 Apr? Per IRS-2023-33 issued on 24 Feb 2023 certain taxpayers are allow to file and pay taxes as late at 16 Oct 2023. I would think there would be updates to the software to account for this. Please advice.
