Can I File Now and Schedule Federal Payment?

[RMC2008]

I owe Federal taxes this year. Can I file now and schedule Federal payment prior to April 15? If so, how do I schedule payment in TT Desktop?

Yes, you can file now after you select to have the taxes paid by direct debit from your bank account and enter a date of payment at any time on or before April 15, 2026.

Yes, as DoninGa mentions above, you can file now and schedule a federal payment of your tax in the future but prior to April 15. TurboTax Desktop will ask you for the date during the final stages of filing your return. When you get to the payment options (the File tab of TurboTax Desktop), you will be able to select to pay via electronic withdrawal and the date.  How do I change my IRS payment date?
