Quarter ended 3/31 so no reason why it won't let me click file & pay. When I try to I get a message box that says "This payment is not yet ready. We're making updates for this tax. It will be ready to pay before the due date, typically by the first or second week after the period ends. Please check back then." We are now past the second week after the period ends.
