I'm efiling a 2020 Fed Tax Return with a balance due. I keep getting this error when I set up the payment w/d date - I'm trying different dates. The date I file, the day after I file it, 5 days after I file.....What exactly does this reject error mean??? The payment date cannot be more than 5 days prior to the received date.

Remove the date. The defaults to filing date, if after the original due date.
I am unsure, but I don't think you can set up direct debit with the 1040X. The Letter (US Standard) should have the answer to this. If there is a balance due, then there is likely interest also due. I would direct the client to make the payment via https://www.irs.gov/payments/direct-pay
From the instructions:
Line 20—Amount You Owe
See the “Amount you owe” section in your income tax return
instructions or go to IRS.gov/Payments for payment options.
Answers are easy. Questions are hard!
