Provide Confirmation Numbers for future Fed Qtrly Est Tax Pmts Authorized Within The Return

When clients authorize next year's federal estimated taxes to be made with the eFiled return, the EF Center should show the confirmation number and it should be available for printing in case there is a problem or the client just wants a copy to prove it was taken care of.

WARNING! I have learned that ProSeries returns filed after March 24-25 containing automatic payment of estimated taxes are having the 4-15-21 amount added to the 6-15-21 amount and so the 4-15-21 payments are not being made timely. ProSeries should have made a very visible announcement of this, but they have not. I have called the IRS center that handles these payments and the June payment amount cannot be changed, only deleted, so if you tell your client(s) to mail in a (late) check for the 4-15-21 estimate, then that same amount will be withdrawn 6-15-21 unless you cancel the June estimate and have your client make that one by writing a check. I have not found a way to complain to ProSeries about this major screw-up and their failure to communicate to us that this is happening. I have seen some comments about how the IRS is "behind pulling these payments." That is not the case. These 4-15-21 payments are being made LATE.
