I owe federal tax, It looks like it will be paid April 18th. Why after the filing date? Why doesn't it come out earlier?

April 18th, 2017 is the tax filing deadline set by the IRS this year. Usually, April 15 is the day taxes are due. But in 2017, that falls on a Saturday.

The tax filing deadline is the default payment processing date by the IRS unless you requested an earlier payment date.
