The return has both federal and Colorado estimated tax payments set up to be paid electronically. However, the cover letter in the individual module only states that federal payments will be paid electronically. It does not state Colorado will also be paid electronically. This is very confusing for clients. I have to go in and edit the cover letter each time to add the Colorado verbiage. 

Other states have verbiage that the payments will be made electronically automatically added to the cover letter. For example CA. 

Can similar verbiage be automatically added by the software to the cover letter when CO estimated tax payments are set up for electronic payment?

100% agree. This has been an issue since 2021 when CO started accepting electronic ES payments. There was a suggestion on this same topic back in 2022 and it was closed with no resolution.

I just noticed the same issue for Virginia electronic ES payments.  Maybe it's because the estimates for CO and VA are not sent with the federal return so you have to use the Estimated Payments Wizard, but CA is the same way and it prints on the client letter.

Into another tax year and there is no resolution!
