Yes, Amended returns can be set up for direct deposit in TaxSlayer ProWeb.
If the Amended tax return is going to be electronically filed and the taxpayer wants to include his or her direct deposit information, from the Tax Return Summary page select:
- E-File
- Amended
- Federal Return Type: E-File: Direct Deposit
Continue through the steps as prompted on the E-File page. The taxpayer's direct deposit information will be entered in the Taxpayer's Bank Account Information section. The refund can be split between up to 3 bank accounts, paper check and/or used to purchase up to 3 savings bonds. The total deposits and savings bond purchases must equal the total refund.
- Select the Account Type, and enter the Bank Name. If the full amount of the refund will be deposited into this account, select Pull Refund. If the refund will be split and deposited into multiple accounts, enter the portion of the refund to be deposited into this account.
- Input the Routing Transit Number (RTN), Account Number. To reduce the possibility of an error, you will be prompted to enter the RTN and the account number twice. Make sure you get the RTN from a CHECK and not a DEPOSIT SLIP. Some banks use an internal routing number on their deposit slips rather than their RTN. Your client’s refund will be delayed for several weeks if the proper RTN is not transmitted to the IRS.
- If the refund is being split and deposited to more than one account, or if a portion of the refund should be mailed by paper check to the taxpayer, or to use a portion of the refund to purchase savings bonds, fill in the additional information in the Bank Accounts section, Paper Check Allocation section, and the Purchase Savings Bonds section.
