I had filed my taxes on March 6 and indicated I would pay on April 15 when it was due. Will turbo tax automatically change the payment date to July 15?

Given the new guidance that payments are now due later can I somehow defer the planned payment date

You will have to cancel the payment and then pay the federal taxes owed on the IRS payment website on or before July 15, 2020.

 

IRS website for information on canceling a direct debit payment -https://www.irs.gov/payments/pay-taxes-by-electronic-funds-withdrawal

 

  • Once your return is accepted, information pertaining to your payment, such as account information, payment date, or amount, cannot be changed. If changes are needed, the only option is to cancel the payment and choose another payment method.
  • Call IRS e-file Payment Services 24/7 at 1-888-353-4537 to inquire about or cancel your payment, but please wait 7 to 10 days after your return was accepted before calling.
  • Cancellation requests must be received no later than 11:59 p.m. ET two business days prior to the scheduled payment date.

I was able to cancel my payment via the phone number provided.  That being said, you cannot schedule a new payment more than 30 days away on the IRS website (at least via direct pay), so I have set myself a reminder for June 15 to schedule it.
