jasdlm Posted February 19, 2018 Report Posted February 19, 2018 I know there was a thread about this, but I can't find it searching. We really cannot create State efiles if there are estimates? Aaargh . . . it's 19 February! Quote
Lee B Posted February 19, 2018 Report Posted February 19, 2018 If you are referring to 2018 estimated payments, I believe several users have said they are printing the 2018 estimated payments coupons and then deleting them from the return so that they can efile. 1 Quote
jasdlm Posted February 19, 2018 Author Report Posted February 19, 2018 Thank you. Is it just a program glitch? I just called tech support, and they act like they've never heard of it. They told me that perhaps my state hadn't released the forms for efile. I have been assigned a 'ticket number' or some such thing. Eeegads. What a hassle, and it will be a hassle next year when we have to re-enter the estimate amounts. Quote
Jack from Ohio Posted February 19, 2018 Report Posted February 19, 2018 Mark the estimated payment to be made by check, and your problem will go away. Quote
Yardley CPA Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 Jack...any idea why direct deposit of estimated payments is causing an issue? Hasn't the program been updated to accommodate the direct deposit? Apparently not. Quote

If you are going to set up the estimates as direct drat, you must input all the information at the time you file the return. Otherwise, you must mark the estimates to be paid by check, and the program will go past them. I never set up estimates for direct draft. Clients ALL forget, then there are overdrafts, "How can I stop the draft? There is not enough money in the account..." So, I create the vouchers with no dollar figure, write my recommendations on the vouchers in pencil, and give them to the client. Quote

It's up to them to mail in their estimated payments. I give them a memo of the amounts but they determine how much they can actually pay at the time. 1 Quote
jasdlm Posted February 20, 2018 Author Report Posted February 20, 2018 I have mine marked 'pay by check', and it still isn't creating. Thoughts? Thanks to all for helping. Quote
jasdlm Posted February 20, 2018 Author Report Posted February 20, 2018 I just tried deleting the estimates and then adding the form back. Have 'paper check by mail' marked. Aaargh. Nothing. Quote
Yardley CPA Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 This options worked fine for me last year. I had several clients use the state direct debit feature for their estimates. Worked perfectly and the client didn't need to worry about mailing a check or a coupon. I have reached out to ATX and hope to get some feedback soon on when the form will be ready. I'll update when I know more. Quote
Yardley CPA Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 I'm told the NC-40 form, Individual Estimated Income Tax, will be approved for eFile by end of today. Quote
jasdlm Posted February 22, 2018 Author Report Posted February 22, 2018 This is fixed for Kansas. Glory be! 1 Quote
