Payment Via EFTPS while filing electronically

Hello, I use TurboTax and electronic filing to send in my tax return. This year, for the first time in a number of years, I owe money (a lot) due to a large stock sale. I have also enrolled in EFTPS so that the money I owe is taken from my checking account. Can I submit my electronic tax return on March 1, for example, and enter into EFTPS that I want the amount owed deducted from my checking account on April 10 or so? Does the IRS look for a payment as soon as I electronically file, or will they only check to make sure payment has been made by April 15? Thanks for any clarification on this.

You can file your return at any time, your payment is not due until the filing deadline. So yes, you can efile your return on Mar 1st and pay on Apr 10 with no negative consequences.
