Sorry, but Intuit cannot/will not fix this. I am in Texas and had two dozen files waiting to pay on the deadline. 

There are THREE solutions:

1. E-file the return; Client mails payment or makes their own payment arrangement.

2. E-file the return no earlier than 6/14 and no later than 6/15

3. E-file the return and REMOVE the debit payment request. Go on to IRS.Gov/Payments and MANUALLY enter a payment for a draft date of 6/15.  CAUTION: Be sure to log out after each payment for a client before entering payment info for another client. If you do not heed this warning, you will end up making a bunch of payments to ONE CLIENT from another client's bank account. 

The primary reason that Intuit did not fix this issue is because the IRS refused to fix it on their end. The IRS programmed the system to accept advance requests for payment ONLY to April 15, and then later they adjusted this to MAY 15. But they did NOT make it possible for any other advance date.
