Checking vs. Savings Account for Direct Debit

At a client's request, I filed a return today requesting a direct debit from their bank account for the balance due.  The routing and account number were entered correctly, but I checked the "Savings" box instead of the "Checking" box.

Anyone know if this will create a problem for their payment withdrawal?

Probably depends on the bank.

Doubt it.  they just want that to help the bank identify the account if there is an issue.  Parents using there accounts for their kids returns for example sometimes cause the bank to double check if the right person is getting the money.
