Verify electronic funds withdrawal information for a return filed electronically

When you file a return electronically, you can have the balance due on the return direct debited from the client's bank account by using electronic funds withdrawal (EFW). You can't designate EFW on a paper return in UltraTax CS. For more information regarding EFW, visit the IRS website.
Use the following options to verify the designation of EFW for a balance due return. These apply to extensions as well.

Review the filing instructions for the return before creating the electronic file

By default, when you set up a client for EFW, the filing instructions will print text explaining that you have authorized the taxing agency to withdraw the payment amount.
