Last year it took IRS a couple weeks to update their systems to accept a new debit date, Intuit will probably be a week behind that.

If your clients want to file now, but not pay until May17th, they may want to consider a different payment method.

Has this been updated?  A return I prepared yesterday, I didn't receive the error message for a 5/17 debit date.  So I am thinking it was updated.   

Thanks for the confirmation.
