Account Information

The primary account information entered in the Bank federal screen transfers to this screen. A different account may be entered for the Virginia return. It is recommended that the routing transit number and account number be verified annually with the taxpayer.
To prevent unintended IRA excess contributions, account information doesn’t transfer from the Bank federal screen when the account type is 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 in this field 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 needs to be 9 digits with the 1st 2 digits within the range of 01-12 or 21-32.
Name of financial institution
This field is used in filing instructions and forms to identify the account.
Depositor account number
Data entry in this field 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 numbers and letters. Omit spaces, hyphens, and other special characters.
Type of account (If IRA, deposit only, where state allows)
Data entry in this field 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.
Non-US financial institution (International ACH transaction)
Federal regulations affect international electronic funds transfers processed through 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 will need to support in future years so the return will indicate that an IAT was requested.
