Direct Deposit - State

Cheryl3

A heads-up that the Direct Deposit box was UNCHECKED after checking it, upon changing Fed to a Direct Debit on Info page??  Or make separate on Info page?  If something is added/subtracted from Fed that causes a Fed Only Balance Due, I am forced to uncheck the DD box, which unchecks it on State, although State DOES have a refund.  If I don't notice/remember to go back to state and re-enter that checkbox, client's state refund check is mailed.

I don't know about everyone, but a long time ago I learned of this programming issue. It is not new.

When the federal direct deposit box is checked yes for refund, then you open the state, the state refund box is also checked automatically. This is good for both refunds. 

If state is not a refund, this is easy to correct.

If the federal refund box is not checked YES, the state refund box is not checked YES automatically. 

Your brain needs to retain all items of refund/tax due, since if the federal tax due payment is checked YES, but when the state is a refund, the DD box for state must be manually checked.
