Enter
X
 if Form GA-8453 C or GA-8453 S has already been signed by an authorized officer of the corporation and returned to the firm. When this field is marked, the filing instructions will indicate no further action is necessary and Form GA-8453 C and GA-8453 S will not print with the tax return. If this field is not marked, the filing instructions will indicate that Form GA-8453 C and GA-8453 S must be signed before the return can be filed electronically. To print Form GA-8453 C and GA-8453 S with the tax return regardless of this field, enter

 in the

 field in Setup,  Office Configuration, then Print Options.

Electronic funds withdrawal for balance due returns: Requested payment date
Enter the required information in this field to generate the e-file electronic funds withdrawal (direct debit) payment in the electronic file. Use this field to generate the electronic funds withdrawal for balance due returns only. If this field is blank, an electronic funds withdrawal is not generated. Review e-File and e-Pay rules and regulations for filing and payment requirements.
note
Requested payment date is a mandatory field if using the electronic funds withdrawal option.
Electronic filing allows electronic filers with a balance due to authorize a direct transfer from their checking or savings account. Using this feature, electronic filers can file early and set a date for automatic payment if there is a balance due.
note
To instruct the client to pay by electronic funds transfer instead of direct debit, leave this field blank and enter
X
 in the
Corporate filing instruction
 field of the Electronic Funds Transfer Payments section in the GALetter Screen.
Electronic funds withdrawal for balance due returns: Amount of tax payment (Force)
Enter an amount if only a partial payment of the return balance due is being made through electronic funds withdrawal. If this field is blank, the application uses the total balance due on the return for the electronic funds withdrawal amount.
note
You must enter bank account information in either the federal Bank Screen or in the GABank Screen.
Credit card
Enter
X
 to instruct the client in the filing instructions to pay the balance due by credit card on their electronically filed tax return.
