Define SOON?

Well, you made me chuckle, at least! How about within a week??

How about 2 weeks?  What the heck, let's split the difference and go with a guess of a week and half.  It still is a guessing game since Intuit isn't sharing that secret yet.

It won't even let you efile.

Change the date to 4/15 or sit on the return for awhile.

My client doesn't want to pay until 5/15

Then wait, or have them pay electronically later, or pay with a check later.

I don't receive the error message anymore when i put 5/17 as the date.  I was still receiving it as of Tuesday.  Does this mean, we can e-file and have direct debit of 5/17.  Thanks

They updated the software a couple of days ago but some folks said they were still having issues with NY.  But if you aren't getting any error messages, you should be good to go.

The fed error is gone, but the state is still there.

Yes, fortunately my client could still handle using a 4/15 date so that one is done now. Otherwise I would still be holding it!
