Extensions for CA Partnerships

[mobilestranger21]

Hello,

I am receiving the following error message when trying to e-file a CA extension for Form 1065.

When filing an extension, the State of California requires an amount due and for the amount to be paid electronically via direct debit.

I am trying to find a way to indicate that the taxpayer will submit the electronic payment of $800 to CA by 3/15/2021. The taxpayer does not want to provide the account and routing number to me so I am just trying to get the extension in. Is there a workaround that will help me achieve this?

Thank you.

Send the client a link to https://www.ftb.ca.gov/forms/2020/2020-3538.pdf and let them deal with it.

I don't know how to do an electronic payment if I don't have what the taxpayer doesn't want to give.  Maybe the client would like to do https://www.ftb.ca.gov/pay/bank-account/index.asp
