Federal Electronic estimated payments with amended returns

[TAX0822]

I am amending several Federal returns that elected to have Federal 2026 estimated tax  payments directly withdrawn by the clients account. I understand the 2026 estimated tax payments would be duplicated  if I don't call the IRS and delete the existing payments.  I would rather not change the estimated payments already setup.

Question: If I turn off or un-check the box for electronic 2026 estimated tax on the amended filing will the original estimated tax schedule still be in force? I assume it would be and there would no new schedule because the direct withdrawal has been un-checked. 

Anyone have experience with this issue?

If you turn them off with the amended return the original ones will still go through.

Been there.

Correct, just don't send the estimated tax payments with the amended return, and the originals will be paid as scheduled.
