Efiling restrictions don't allow a greater direct debit than twice the tax due.  I have a client whose late filing penalty is 100% of tax, so balance is doubled but there's also a small amount of late interest and payment penalty.  I added to the debit and overrode the EF error when filing, but apparently this is a reject not simply on ProSeries' side of things? 

Annoying since I had to indicate debit only for the doubled amount, if the IRS is now going to send a notice (though only about $30 and I know there are contributors who have said they opt for IRS to calculate since often low amounts are ignored.)  Still, why limit the debit?!

Thoughts, opinions, one liners?
