Hi -- In normal years, I often file a return on, say March 3, but if the client owes money, we set the direct debit date to April 10, to make sure they pay before the deadline, but not right away.

Right now, though (Sunday, 4/19), I'm trying to set a debit date in May or June (well in advance of the new July 15 deadline) but ProSeries Basic is showing it as an error unless I put today's date.

Does that make sense?

What would happen if I do it anyway, and just ignore the Error message?

Thank you!
