Good morning everyone.
Since the IRS recently issued the change in filing and payment dates - Individual taxpayers can also postpone federal income tax payments for the 2020 tax year due on April 15, 2021, to May 17, 2021, without penalties and interest, regardless of the amount owed.
Will the software be making the change for the payment debit date from April 15 to allow for a May 17?
I have entered 05/17/2021 in the software, but currently I can't efile one clients return because it is still considered an error that must be fixed.
Thanks so much.

It will be weeks before IRS has been reprogrammed to accept a later payment date, you may want your clients to use an alternative payment method if they want to file before the changes are updated.

I am having the same problem with Texas clients with due date extended to July 15. Would it be possible to file an extension for the client and follow that with the 1040 filing with extended due dates?

What about changing the electronic payment due draft for a Texas resident to June 15? Proseries only allows drafts to May 17.

STILL not fixed.
Anybody working on this or has this just been thrown into the "round tuit" pile?

I have been waiting for this change to June 15, 2021 Direct Debit for my Texas clients. Hopefully it will be updated soon.

I was told by Proseries via phone conversation that this change would be implemented TODAY. I should be able to efile a client from Texas with a payment date of June 15, 2021. It is 9:30 pm Texas time and the change has not been implemented so far.

I have not received any new information. I can change the date to May 17, but not beyond. Very disappointed.

Personally, I would have just scheduled the payment on the IRS Direct Pay website a long time ago ad got the file off my desk.

The software should be able to do this.
We live in Texas so 99% of customers are Texas customers.

SHOULD aid the key word.
Intuit has been sitting on this needed update for 6 weeks and ignoring its Texas and OK customers.

Intuit is not responding to this issue and has told its front line people to tell the accountants “we’ll post a fix when we post it and not a moment before... so stop asking when because we don’t tell our people when we will fix the bugs because there are no bugs”

Also waiting for this fix, need to file some Texas client returns who want payment drafted on due date of June 15th, it this going to be fixed or am I going to have to tell them to go to IRS.gov to make a payment or mail a payment in?

Have them pay on the IRS website or mail it in if they want to wait for a later date to pay.

Sorry, but Intuit cannot/will not fix this. I am in Texas and had two dozen files waiting to pay on the deadline.
There are THREE solutions:
1. E-file the return; Client mails payment or makes their own payment arrangement.
2. E-file the return no earlier than 6/14 and no later than 6/15
3. E-file the return and REMOVE the debit payment request. Go on to IRS.Gov/Payments and MANUALLY enter a payment for a draft date of 6/15. CAUTION: Be sure to log out after each payment for a client before entering payment info for another client. If you do not heed this warning, you will end up making a bunch of payments to ONE CLIENT from another client's bank account.
The primary reason that Intuit did not fix this issue is because the IRS refused to fix it on their end. The IRS programmed the system to accept advance requests for payment ONLY to April 15, and then later they adjusted this to MAY 15. But they did NOT make it possible for any other advance date.

Thanks, I had already discussed this issue being a potential with client, thanks for confirming that it won't be able to be scheduled through the program.
