Why can't I enter a Direct Debit Date of 4/15/19 on 4/15/19?

I am filing my trying to e-file my tax return now, on 4/15/19, and pay my owed taxes from my bank account.  TurboTax Online doesn't like it that my payment date isn't at least 1 day after my filing date, and won't accept 4/15.  Entering 4/16 would of course incur penalties and interest.
The help says add a day unless it's 4/15/19.
If this is not possible or no work around, how can I e-file tonight without paying and then separately from TurboTax, pay via another method listed here? https://www.irs.gov/payments

I found through the help how to change my filing method to mail, only then was I able to change my payment method to mail a check, then changed my filing method back to e-file and was able to successfully e-file.  Then I went to the IRS webpage above and was able to pay tonight via credit or debit card. Whew.
