Thanks for checking Just-Lisa-Now.  What's interesting is that I checked the box on the state worksheet (MD in this case) and the phone number printed on the MD return.  I agree that not many clients want their phone numbers on their tax return but this client does and its embarrassing not to be able to do so when the PDF has a line for the phone number.  Also of interest, on the federal worksheet entry page just under the "Spouse" personal information there is a NOTE which says "Work phone is transmitted for electronic funds withdrawal" which I am familiar with due to previous error codes but it tells me the phone number is not transmitted to the IRS under refund conditions.
