what is the solution for this diagnostics ref.#41208

e-file: Form 540: Per California FTB Electronic Filing Specifications, If Electronic Funds Withdrawal (Direct Debit) is requested on the return, the Amount You Owe, before interest and penalties are applied, must have a value. This return may still be filed electronically if the direct debit request is disabled (ref. #41208)

My client has 0 tax due but owes $1,281 in penalties.

Could you do something to make there be $1 tax due? Like some kind of other tax?

Have the client use https://www.ftb.ca.gov/pay/bank-account/index.asp to pay, or just wait for a billing from FTB to be sure the penalties are up to day. 

Curious George would like to know what penalties? 

Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

The more I know the more I don’t know.
