Indiv Efile 4th quarter NYS estimated payment cannot be made within 30 days of the payment due date

Efile 4th quarter NYS estimated payment cannot be made within 30 days of the payment due date IS IMPOSSIBLE. Intuit ProSeries stops allowing efiling by early December so it is NOT possible to electronically make the 4Q NY estimated tax payment which is not due until January 15. This applies to both BASIC and PROFESSIONAL Proseries. So I print a voucher for the taxpayer to make their 4th quarter NYS estimated tax payment OR have the client (I have many seniors!!) sign on to NYS.gov website to set up an account, log in and make a payment.

In addition, Intuit individual user Turbo tax software can process estimated quarterly NYS payments when filing the tax return. However, ProSeries (BASIC and Prof'l) for NY requires submitting an electronic payment each quarter within 30 days of the payment due date. Why doesn't ProSeries work for NYS for making estimated tax payments the same way Federal does and how Intuit Turbo Tax allows?
