4/20/2020 – 11:15am ET: Development was able to find and resolve the issue and the fix is live in production. Any Federal direct debit returns with a future date past the current date can be transmitted at this time.
We have received a report for one instance where the future direct debit date appears to be wrong on the return transmitted after the original 4/15 deadline. We are currently investigating this in Issue 4815. When you quality review the return, please be sure to review the PDF, specifically the Client Forms Listing Summary as shown below. This is where  you can verify the direct debit date prior to electronically filing the return.  If the date is not what you expected, please do not e-file the return until this post has been updated.
