Question

Electronic payment date is not tied to Farmer/Fishermen due date

The Electronic payment date defaults to April 15 rather than March 2nd (this year's due date for farmers) or the date entered on 2210/2210F screen.  Why does is it not determined by either of these and not just automatically April 15th?  The checkbox on Schedule F, Qualified Farmer filing by March 2, 2026 should determine the pay date by/before March 2 and then 2210/2210F filing date after that.  Now I am forced to call the IRS and cancel the payment and reschedule it thru the IRS.gov website.

You could have also noticed this when you reviewed the return before giving it to the client. Just saying.
