If I owe Federal tax, can I go ahead and e-file now and send my payment at a later date by check prior to April 15?

Yes.  As long as your taxes are paid by the due date of the return you can e-file now and pay later.  When you are ready to pay your tax due be sure to include the payment voucher (Form 1040-V) with your check.  If you cannot find the Form 1040-V when you are ready to send your check you can print a new voucher here:

The instructions in the link above provide helpful information on what to include on your check and where to send your payment.
