1041-ES electronic payment?

[Mactaxes]

Hello - New to ProSeries this year and looking to set up electronic payments for Form 1041-ES.  Our old software had this capability and it was a much inferior product to ProSeries, but I can't seem to find a way to set this up.  There are check boxes next to each payment for electronic payment on the 1040-ES Worksheet, but I don't see anything like this in the 1041 program.  Does this capability exist in the 1041 program?  Thanks in advance for any help on this.

I don't see the option in the 1041 program, sorry.

Thank you Lisa!  Not the answer I was hoping for, but at least I can stop searching!  That's too bad because the client can't pay them on IRS DirectPay either...so I guess we're back to paper Vouchers and check writing.  Ugh...

Why can't they use EFTPS?

They can.  It's just much more efficient to have everything set up and recorded in one place inside the tax software.  Plus the EFTPS registration for the 15+ Trusts that will eventually need estimated tax payments will take quite a bit of time.  But I suppose we will move everyone toward the EFTPS route now that we know we cannot set up the future payments directly within the 1041 e-Filing.
