I am trying to process my payment to the IRS and it won't allow me to put in today's date April 15th. Any reason why?

I don't want to be charged interest or penalties. I am submitted my taxes before the midnight deadline, why is turbo tax not letting me put today's date in?

Then to efile the return, select that you will Mail a Check.

TurboTaxRachelW originally responded and then deleted, "The banking system is closed so you will need to use 4/16/19 as your payment date.  By e-filing today (by midnight), your return will be filed on time."  I filed and used the 4/16/19 date as the payment date based on that before MichaelL1's response.  Should I try to pay on the IRS site?  I don't see a way to cancel/change the 4/16 payment date though.
