Jim,

Thanks but I'm still confused.

Here's what I did:

The client owes money on his Federal and State Returns.

He doesn't want to use the electronic fund withdrawal option but wants to send a check.

I went to Part VI and checked the box : file federal returns electronically. I also checked the box file state return electronically.

I then went to Part IX and checked no "to use electronically withdraw for federal balance due"

I could not find the direct debit box on the federal information worksheet.

Maybe you can see what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks,

Jack
