Can child use parent bank account for payment of taxes direct debit? child files separate return

[artjuagar]

Hi,

Child files his own return in lacerte. Can child use parent bank account info for electronic payment? Or does bank account info needs to match taxpayer info?

Thanks,

Arturo

I've had clients do it even though I think it is supposed to match.

Probably depends on the bank on whether or not it will fly.
