How do I change the default on the Illinois Form 2210 away from "have the state calculate the penalty and bill the client"? What a stupid default. No sane person would ever want the client to get an additional bill from any taxing body.

I agree, I am not sure why they chose this as default. It really doesnt make sense to me. Open a random client and go to Illinois. Go to Tools/Miscellaneous/ and uncheck the box under OTHER INFO.

I agree 100%. The last thing a client needs is a notice from the government. Because guess what happens next? You get a phone call or email that wastes your time asking you why they got a notice. And then the client also wants to know if you made an error. No brainer to check the box that allows the penalty to be calculated on the return. The client rarely sees it.
