I called CA FTB and they told me that the date they had for Q1 payment was 5/17/2021, and that it was not a processing delay.  So I believe it was also transmitted incorrectly by Intuit. 

 

They gave me a number to call and cancel my payment set up for 5/17/2021.  It was 916-845-0353.  I will call them later today and cancel.  I do not have access to my CA FTB account because I am still waiting on my PIN in the mail.

 

I went ahead and paid Q1 CA taxes through the FTB website.

Believe or not, 48 hours later, I'm still waiting for supervisor's call... 

 

I wonder who is paying all the penalty and interest with Intuit's transmission problem (1040-ES), Intuit's software problem (CA 540-ES),.... I won't be surprised other states direct withdrawal of estimated payment may have the same issue....
