CA Corp Tax to withdraw on extended due date

[Bowie]

The extended due date of CA corporate returns is 11/15th.  

On the Misc Screen where we check the box to have CA taxes due electronically withdrawn, the F1 help screen tells me "The program defaults to the due date of the tax return as the date on which the withdrawal should be made.  To select a different date, enter the date. " 

I have not changed the CA due date of the return on the letter or penalty screen.  This means the CA return is still due 11/15 even though the federal corporate return is due 10/15.  

Based on the statement made on F1, as described int he first paragraph above.  I'm assuming even if the CA extended return is filed today, 10/14, the CA electronic payment will not be electronically withdrawn until 11/15.  BUT the CA e-file payment record in Lacerte tells me the "Requested Payment Date is 10/14/2024", which is when we efiled the corporate return.  

Lacerte does have a diagnostic telling me the federal debit payment will be withdrawn from the taxpayer's bank account once the IRS has processed the return.  There is no diagnostic about CA whatsoever.  

I called Lacerte technical support to ask them when the CA balance due with the extended return will come out of the corporate bank account.  They could NOT answer that question and suggested that I post a product idea here.  My suggestion????  Clarify SOMEWHERE when this payment will be electronically withdrawn from the client's bank account.  Not even the efile authorization letter sent to the client tells me that information.
