It won't allow you to enter a payment date.  Taxes are due on April 18.  The extension only allows for late filing of the return but it does not extend the time to pay taxes due. Taxpayers will extend their filing deadline because they are waiting for tax documents or other information they haven't received yet but if they have taxes due on April 15, the taxes need to be paid to avoid interest charges.
