1 - is the refund being applied to next year's estimate? If so there is no refund.

2 - For Direct Deposit  you need to check the first TWO boxes, then do bank name, rtn and acct # and type of account. Missing one item will mess it up. 

Still doesn't work for this client, although I successfully got it to work on another

Wondering if there's an override that's preventing it from working 

I have the same problem (2019 corporate FYE 9/30/20).  I correctly checked both of the first two boxes on screen 4.1 and input the bank information properly.  I see the Form 8050 with the correct information, but the letter does not indicate the refund will be direct deposit!  I spoofed the CA estimate paid to force an overpayment....and the letter correctly indicates the direct deposit of the overpayment.  Any help here?

Me too....can't get 8050 to be active on 1120 refund.  State is working fine.  No diagnostic is present either.  1st two boxes checked as well as routing and account #s.  

Same problem in Corporate return for 2020.  All fields complete for direct deposit, but no elected result.  Form 8050 is complete but not generated automatically, client letter does not read "refund will be direct deposited", and notes paper check when validating efile.

Please fix.
