Show all hidden content

Overview

Use this screen to enter direct deposit and electronic funds withdrawal information for the tax return. Direct deposit is available when filing electronically or on paper. Electronic funds withdrawal for the return is available only when filing electronically. The taxing agency doesn't support electronic funds withdrawal for extensions.
note
Once an electronic return is transmitted, a direct deposit or electronic funds withdrawal request can't be added, modified, or canceled. The routing transit number and account number should be verified annually.

Direct Deposit and Electronic Funds Withdrawal

Use this section to indicate the
Alabama
option for direct deposit and electronic funds withdrawal (direct debit). The Alabama Direct Deposit Report shows details of the requested deposit. The requested withdrawal details are reported in the Alabama Electronic Funds Withdrawal. Direct deposit is available when filing electronically or on paper. Electronic funds withdrawal for the return is available only when filing electronically.
Suppress direct deposit of refund
UltraTax CS automatically selects direct deposit for the Alabama return refund when financial institution information has been entered in the federal Info screen. Enter X if you don't want to deposit the state refund directly in the client's account.
Use Refund Advantage / EPS Financial for refund deposit
Use this field to have the client's refund, less fees, deposited with Refund Advantage / EPS Financial. This field is available only when filing electronically and a bank product is selected in the federal RAL screen.
Enable electronic funds withdrawal for a balance due return
Use this field to request an electronic withdrawal of funds for a balance due return. If this field isn't turned on, no withdrawal will occur.
Date of withdrawal
If filing on or before the original due date, the date of withdrawal defaults to the original due date. Use this field to request an earlier withdrawal date. If filing after the original due date, enter the anticipated filing date of the return. The taxing agency will initiate a withdrawal request when the return has completed processing.
The actual transfer of funds may occur on or after the requested date. Delays of several days aren't uncommon.

Account Information

The primary account information entered in the federal
Bank
screen transfers automatically. A different account may be entered for the Alabama return. We recommend that the routing transit number and account number be verified annually with the taxpayer. To prevent unintended IRA premature withdrawal penalties or excess contributions, account information doesn't transfer from the federal
Bank
screen for an IRA. If a deposit to an IRA is intended, enter that account information in this screen. An IRA can't be selected for electronic funds withdrawal.
Routing transit number
Data entry is required in order to consider the account information complete for UltraTax/1040 processing. If this field is left blank, the account won't be used. The routing transit number will need to be nine digits with the first two digits within the range of 01-12 or 21-32.
Name of financial institution
This field is used in filing instructions and forms to help identify the account.
Depositor account number
Data entry is required in order to consider the account information complete for UltraTax/1040 processing. If this field is left blank, the account won't be used. The account number may include digits and letters. Omit spaces, hyphens, and other special characters.
Type of account (If IRA, deposit only, where state allows)
Data entry is required in order to consider the account information complete for UltraTax/1040 processing. If this field is left blank, the account won't be used. Select the type of account from the dropdown list. An IRA account type can't be selected for electronic funds withdrawal.
Non-US financial instruction (International ACH transaction)
There are regulations affecting international electronic funds transfers processed though the automated clearing house (ACH) network. A domestic ACH transaction is a direct deposit to or withdrawal from an account in a U.S. financial institution. An international ACH transaction (IAT) is a direct deposit to an account in a U.S. bank that automatically forwards the refund to an account in a foreign financial institution, or a withdrawal from a U.S. bank account that receives the funds for that transaction from a foreign account. The account owner will know when an international transfer account has been established for them.
Enter
X
if the account identified is used for an IAT. Because state agencies can't process an IAT, UltraTax CS suppresses the direct deposit or electronic funds withdrawal when this field is marked. This suppression is noted in the diagnostic messages and the account information is omitted from forms, client documents, and electronic returns. State agencies are tallying how many international transactions they’ll need to support in future years so the return will indicate that an IAT was requested.
