Currently, to set up a state quarterly estimate in Efile Pending, you have to go to the Accepted Efile that lists the prior quarter's filing, then go into that taxpayer's file (where each of the quarterly estimates have been set up), then into the state, then exit into EFILE, then go onto the next taxpayer. Rather cumbersome if you have many clients paying state estimates electronically.
Instead, why not just list the next quarterly payment in the Pending EFILE. When transmitted and accepted, automatically bring up the next payment in the Pending EFILE list. Put whatever restrictions on it that you please (can't transmit until 30 days before due date). In this way, you can still change the amounts if you want but it will take only 1 minute to transmit rather than setting up and transmitting which can take a half hour if not more.
