Will my Direct Debit Work?

[mollinmark]

Using TT Deluxe Desktop for Mac. I efiled returns for two different family members. The second one printed off a 1040-V to mail a payment, but I did everything the same.

See pics for reference...

On the Info Wks in Part 5, 'Yes' is checked for both for the question 'Do you want to elect direct debit of federal balance due (Electronic Filing only)?"

Both have the correct banking info and routing numbers.

Under Enter the following information only if you are requesting direct debit of balance due:,

both have the date of 4/10/2025 for 'Enter the payment date to withdraw from the above account.

But, for the 'Balance Due amount for this return, the one that printed the 1040-V is blank. The other one has the correct amount. 

So now I'm worried that the amount won't be debited. Is there anything else I can check to see why it is like this? Why would one produce a 1040-V and not the other?

If you elected direct debit to pay a balance due, neither one should print a 1040-V.  That's used for mailing a check.

Check your Filing Instructions.

Thank you Marilyn. I went back and opened up last year's desktop app and it was the same way. But the direct debits both worked okay so I'm not too worried about it. But I don't know why it would do that. The only difference is that the 1040-V one is my dependent and the other one isnt.
