My 2024 Amended Federal Return was rejected for "FPYMT-071-01 - 'RequestedPaymentDt' in the IRS Payment Record must not be more than 5 days prior to the received date."

What do I do?

The rejection is due to the date that you set up for the payment date on your federal return. You need to change the payment date for a future date, in the finish and pay section.  

How can I pay my federal taxes?

Thank you so much Leticia! I was able to successfully transmit the return this morning.

how do I change the date on 2024 amended turbotax return that was rejected?

What date are you trying to change? You likely have to use a current date in 2026, but to be sure, I would need to know where you are putting this date.

The date I signed it and the date I asked for the money to be withdrawn was more than 5 days.  After I got the amended return to download, the TurboTax form says I can only pick a date in 2025.   What do I do?

Also, can I send the amended return with correct withdrawal date (once you tell me how) by e-file?

You are having problems because for an amended return you can't schedule an automatic payment. You need to select,  "I will mail a check" or "Pay online at IRS.gov." 

You should be able to e-file, but with amendments, it doesn't always go through, depending on your situation. Try it and see what happens. If it doesn't let you, you will have to print and mail.
