One correction to your solution. Step 3, you must hold the shift key down until the "Homebase Reconciliation" box opens.   If not nothing will happen. Once I did it this way it worked and miracle of miracles that blank duplicate dissapeared

Hillsboro 15269 My client noticed it on the printed return I gave him. All the bank info was blank even though I input it on the information page. I checked other returns with direct deposit and direct debit, the bank info was there so I don't think bank info transmits on a zero tax due return. However this is all a moot point now as the IRS is going to pay that group of people from their social security accounts with no return needed.

I heard today but have not seen anything officially that the IRS will deliver these payments to those on SS in the same manner as there SS using SS information. Still looking for official word on that though.

Yes it will file ok but the bank information doesn't go with it because no tax or refund due using your bank account. Print the 1040 of that return you filed and look at the bank information, it will be all X's and no bank info such as name or check off checking or savings. Look at a client that actually has a direct deposit or debit and you will see the bank info on the 1040.

So we have a problem. The IRS is telling us to file no tax due tax returns for those receiving social security or other non taxable income and who would ordinarily not file in order to get this stimulus check and to provide the banking information on said return, yet this program is NOT forwarding the banking information to the IRS even though it was input into the information page. And please don't mention osmosis again because that is redundant. The program should put the banking information on the tax return whether they are getting a refund by direct deposit, paying by direct debit or by check or have a zero tax return because that is what the IRS is telling us to do. No osmosis necessary rewrite the program.
