We are excited to begin introducing changes to the e-file section of the application. These changes are designed to increase efficiency and to produce a more quality return. As we begin seeing these changes internally, we will introduce them to you to make you aware of any changes that could impact the day to day operations of your site.
Bank Account: 8888 View
The bank account tab will allow you to enter direct deposit and/or direct debit information based on the Federal and/or State return type. The basic functionality of it remains the same as it does in the current application. We recommend setting selecting to use Form 8888 in office setup. This will allow you easy access as you promote savings to have a deposit split into multiple accounts and/or allow the taxpayer to have a portion of their refund allocated to savings bonds. Advantage: The new layout only displays one active account at a time. This makes it less confusing for the taxpayers that only want their refund deposited into one account. If the taxpayer wants the refund deposited into multiple accounts, the user will expand the 2nd and then 3rd account.
