Set up electronic funds withdrawal (EFW)

For returns filed electronically, extensions, and estimates, certain state taxing agencies let taxpayers pay balances due via electronic funds withdrawal (EFW).
If a state allows electronic filing for extensions or estimates, they generally allow electronic funds withdrawal requests.
Data entry
To ensure the debit of an electronic funds withdrawal request is successful, enter the following.
  1. In the federal
    Electronic Filing
     folder, select the
    ELF
     tab and enter
    X
     in the
    File the return electronically
     field.
  2. In the federal
    General
     folder, select the
    1040
     tab and enter
    Daytime telephone/ext number
     in the Taxpayer Information section.
  3. In the federal
    General
     folder, select the
    Bank
     tab and enter the bank information. If the fields are grayed out, delete the code in the
    Taxpayer verified all bank info by
     field.
  4. In the
    General
     folder of the state input screens, select the
    Bank
     tab and make sure the bank information is correct. Mark the corresponding box to
    Enable electronic funds withdrawal
     for a balance due return, extension payment, or estimate payments, whichever is applicable. If 1 of these fields isn't available, the state most likely doesn’t accept EFW for that payment type. Refer to the state instructions for details.
  5. For returns and extensions:
    1. If you'd like the date of withdrawal to occur before the April deadline, specify a date in the
      Requested payment date
       field. Otherwise, leave the field blank. If you're filing a return after the original deadline, you can't enter a date that's after the date you transmit the return to the agency.
  6. For estimates:
    1. For each quarter that you authorize EFW, UltraTax CS enters the standard due date for the state. You can adjust the dates for electronic withdrawal in the
      Requested withdrawal date
       fields.
