2/3/2020 – This was resolved with the update this morning.
We have a high priority issue reported (Issue 4248) regarding future direct debit payment date entries in e-file reflecting as the present day when transmitted to the IRS and/or State Department. For example, if you choose Federal Direct Debit Return Type and choose 4/15/2020 as the debit date, the current date (i.e. 1/31/2020) is being transmitted. If taxpayers are coming to your site and wish to have a future direct debit listed for their return, we advise their returns not be transmitted until this post has been marked as resolved.
