     field in the federal
    ELF
     screen can be marked to suppress all state electronic files for that client.

    1040 Individual
    ,
    Federal
     tab and select the

    E-Filing
     tab and select the
    States
     button. Clear the checkbox next to any state to suppress that state’s electronic files. That state’s electronic files are suppressed for all clients.
Enable electronic funds withdrawal for a balance due
Use this field to ask for an electronic withdrawal of funds for a balance due return. If not enabled, no withdrawal will happen.
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 ask for an earlier withdrawal date. If filing after the original due date, the transmission date of the electronically filed return must be used. The taxing agency will initiate a withdrawal request when the return has completed processing.
The actual transfer of funds may happen on or after the requested date. Delays of several days are common.
Electronic file preparer note
Use these fields to enter information to include in the electronic file, such as more information detailing excess data. Enter up to 150 characters.

Account information

The primary account information entered in the federal screen Bank transfers automatically. A different account may be entered for the Detroit city return. It is recommended that the routing transit number and account number be verified yearly with the taxpayer.
Routing transit number
This field is used in filing instructions and forms to help identify the account.
Name of financial institution
Data entry in this field is needed 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 must be 9 digits with the 1st two digits within the range of 01-12 or 21-32.
Depositor account number
Data entry in this field is needed 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
Data entry in this field is needed 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.
Non-US financial institution (International ACH transaction)
There are rules affecting 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 gets 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.

Signature Alternative

The electronic signature alternative (ESA) option is only available if the federal electronic file is either suppressed in the federal
ELF
 screen or the federal Form 8948 is used.
This method serves as the signature for the Detroit tax return and no extra signature document is used. The information used in the ESA record tells the state to validate the identity of the persons for whom the current return is filed. Enter the adjusted gross income and
Michigan
 refund or balance due, not the Detroit refund or balance due. UltraTax CS doesn’t support Form MI-8453 for Detroit returns.
