rejection of the transmission, (b) the reason for any delay in processing the return or refund, and (c) the date of any refund, that are required
for electronic returns processing. If applicable, I authorize the U.S. Treasury and its designated Financial Agent to initiate an electronic funds
withdrawal (direct debit) entry to the financial institution account indicated in the tax preparation software for payment of the federal taxes
owed on this return, and the financial institution to debit the entry to this account. To revoke a payment, I must contact the U.S. Treasury
Financial Agent at 1-888-353-4537 no later than two business days before the payment (settlement) date. I also authorize the financial
institutions involved in the processing of the electronic payment of taxes to receive confidential information necessary to answer inquiries and
resolve issues related to the payment. I have selected a personal identification number (PIN) as my signature for the electronic return and, if
