TT is still showing the old deadline on its cover sheet for the personal tax returns to be filed. Official IRS web site says NEW deadline is May 17 for the PERSONAL TAX RETURN ONLY !!!

 

NOTE: Estimate payments, if you have any, are still due on their normal dates which means the first voucher 1040-ES is still due on April 15.

 

TT has yet to fix its wrong deadline date and it has failed to notify users of the above information regarding the estimated payment deadlines too. And when I spoke with a TT rep, they gave me the WRONG information. BEWARE !!!!

 

Best to go to IRS web site: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/tax-day-for-individuals-extended-to-may-17-treasury-irs-extend-filing-and-payment-deadline

NOTE THE FOLLOWING from the IRS official web site posted on 3/17/2021:

 

"IR-2021-59, March 17, 2021

WASHINGTON — The Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service announced today that the federal income tax filing due date for individuals for the 2020 tax year will be automatically extended from April 15, 2021, to May 17, 2021. The IRS will be providing formal guidance in the coming days."

 

and

 

"This relief does not apply to estimated tax payments that are due on April 15, 2021. These payments are still due on April 15. Taxes must be paid as taxpayers earn or receive income during the year, either through withholding or estimated tax payments. In general, estimated tax payments are made quarterly to the IRS by people whose income isn't subject to income tax withholding, including self-employment income, interest, dividends, alimony or rental income. Most taxpayers automatically have their taxes withheld from their paychecks and submitted to the IRS by their employer."

TurboTax updated to allow tax due payment dates from 4/16/21-5/17/21, The IRS E-file Servers have not yet been updated for Tax due payment dates up until 5/17/21.

 

TurboTax expects to hear on Monday when the IRS e-file servers will be updated.
 

Payment Date after 4/15/2021

Turbotax Home and Business has not been updated. Cannot enter anything after 4/15 for payment.

The IRS E-file Servers have not yet been updated for tax due payment dates up until 5/17/21 therefore TurboTax is waiting on their update to avoid the rejection of returns. Once TurboTax gets the confirmation from the IRS that their servers are ready then TurboTax will implement their update.
