Critical Diagnostic -- Direct Deposit Disallowed

Is anyone else receiving a critical diagnostic in 2020 Lacerte, saying "Your direct deposit of the tax refund has been disallowed since the return was filed after November 30, 2020.  A check will be issued in lieu of direct deposit." ?

That's IRS policy.

That has to be a problem with Lacerte.  I'm getting the error and the prior return was filed in February last year.

You can't have e-filed 2020 returns yet.

I didn't notice that. I assumed it was for a 2019 return (which also can't be efiled yet).

Yes receiving the same diagnostic for 2020 tax returns.

Since we can't e-file yet I'm assuming it will go away on 2/12.

The client letter says refund is being directly deposited.
