How can I receive assistance with a Check This Entry message received when doing a final review of CA state tax return?

California Information Worksheet: Direct debit yes box should not be checked. Only electronically filed returns are eligible for direct debit. My Federal and CA returns are both set up for direct debit for taxes due. When I print my CA return, the Electronic Filing Instructions for your 2025 California Tax Return clearly states that my balance due will paid by direct debit.

worse than i thought...you cannot progress past the review unless you check that I do NOT want to direct debit the state tax payment.  But i do want to direct debit and all is set up to do that including info for bank account.  So how do we efile now Intuit????

SOLUTION!!!  - Turns out you need to PAY FIRST!

Leave the review without making a change and go to the FILE tab at the top.

There you can go through the process of paying $25 to state efile (sad this is still a added cost!)

Once you've paid go back and re-run the review and you should pass without issue

 

Wow Intuit - not so Intutive!!!!!
