Use the Discretionary Tax Payments dialog to create an EPS file for ad-hoc tax payment. The file can then be sent to the appropriate federal or state/local agency for automatic payment of the client's taxes without having to use a vendor check.
From the CSA main window, choose Utilities > Direct Deposit, and then (from the Maintain Electronic Transaction Files dialog) choose Tasks > Discretionary Tax Payments.
Fields & buttons
Specify the following information as appropriate for the selected client and current discretionary tax payment:
Federal Tax type
If the current discretionary tax payment is a federal tax payment, select the appropriate tax type from the drop-down list. Notice that the amount and amount type fields in the dialog vary depending on your selection in this field.
Payment reason
If you have selected the Federal Tax type option, select the appropriate payment reason from the drop-down list.
State or Local Tax type
If the current discretionary tax payment is a state or local tax payment, enter the appropriate tax type in the Tax type field.
State taxpayer ID override
If a number other than the client's federal taxpayer ID number is to be used for the state taxpayer ID, enter that number here. Otherwise, you may leave this field blank. (If you leave this field blank, the client's federal ID number will be used.)
Amount and Amount type fields
The field names and availability of these fields varies depending on what selections have been made in the fields above.
For federal tax payments (except for Forms 941/944, 720, and CT-1) only one amount (the total tax payment amount) can be entered. The exceptions noted have specific amount fields that allow you to specify the distribution by subcategory of the total tax payment.
For state or local payments, all three amount fields and all three amount type fields are available, allowing you to specify the distribution by subcategory of the total tax payment.
Period end date
Enter the period end date of the time period that this payment is based upon.

- Bank ID (choose from the drop-down list of banks already set up in the Direct Deposit > Setup > Bank Information dialog)
