    IRS Notice TX-2021-02, 2/22/2021 - Victims of winter storms now have June 15, 2021 to file and make tax payments.  The June 15, 2021 deadline applies to the first quarter estimated tax payment due on April 15.

    4/2/21 - Per Lacerte tech phone support, must override due date via screen 5.1. A manual letter revision is also required to override the Q1-2021 estimate payment due date.  So, as of this date Lacerte hasn't done it's job.

    So I assume that means if we e-file a return now that as a first quarter estimate set for auto pay, they are going to withdraw on April 15? Or May 15? Instead of June 15?

    Client has a small overpayment being applied. I set April 15 ES to  "-1" and this generated 1st and 2nd quarter being withdrawn on June 15, so I guess that's the workaround. Lacerte needs to add something where we can indicate the client is in the disaster area. It seems like in the past, they just keyed off of the zip code.
