Direct Debit on Amended Returns

[Chowdahead]

Does anyone know if Direct Debit is allowed for tax owed for 2022 Amended Returns?  I have 2 clients who had to file amended 2022 return and they had relatively small balances of $700 and $200.

 

I selected Direct Debit on the 1040 E-file Info form in ATX and entered April 18 as the payment date on both the federal and state. No errors reported upon error check. But the client letter still says they should send a check to the IRS while also saying the debit for the state balance will come out of their checking account on April 18. I'm confused.

Have you tried creating an e-file on it?  A filing error might not show up until then--this happened when I tried direct deposit on an amended return earlier in the year (I believe this is now fixed).

If you don't get a filing error, it should be okay but with an April 18 payment date...I think I'd rather have them use Direct Pay at irs.gov

This is something I really like about Drake.  All of the diagnostic errors have to be cleared before you can create an efile.

I amended a 2021 return last month, e-filed with direct debit.  There were no diagnostic errors which, also in ATX must be cleared before e-filing, the return payment form was included in the e-filed forms, the returns (federal and state) were accepted with no messages.  I did not ask the clients if the payments were actually debited on March 23 as indicated but will do so this afternoon.

Yes both amended return files containing the 1040X were accepted.

That would be extremely helpful! If not, I'll tell my clients to go to IRS.gov.

I filed a superseded return for ty 2022 with a direct debit for the balance due. So far, no problems or questions. I know this can be done in Drake and would think ATX would provide the same.

Great thanks!
