I have a +$10k balance due.
On the Information Worksheet, Part V, I check "YES" in the elect direct debit box. I put a date of 04/14/2024 as payment date with all my bank info. I have used several different payment dates.
The check box lights up pink and the return now say I have an error.
I have tried closing and clearing cache.
What am I doing wrong?
Try the following :
1) First, make the date the 10th or 11th. A weekend date could cause problems and there's too much last-minute stuff going on for the 15th that could foul it up. Just make sure you e-file by this weekend (6 or 7 April).
2) Yeah, I kind-of noticed that myself. You can't fully make final arrangements in Forms Mode. You have to go back to step-by-step and go thru the actual e-filing process. Something that is hidden in the steps, for that e-filing process, finally gets rid of the pinked boxes.....but step thru those e-filing steps slowly to make sure everything is set the way you want.
