Hi there,

this is my first year to have a client to set up eletcornic withdraw for the PTE prepayment due by 6/15. I noticed that once I e-filed this return. Lacerte has no e-file activity report to indicate that I have already submitted the auto payment of Pass-through elective estimated tax.

Does anyone have ever tried this Auto payment for PTE estimated tax payment? Did it go through well? 

I'm considering advising my client to make another $1,000 PTE elective payment on FTB website just in case this Lacerte auto withdraw failed and I don't have evidence to shown to FTB.

Yes, I use this autopay feature very frequently.  It works very well for me.
