Form 1041 estimated taxes paid -- "Bank Acct Num" allows only 4 digits

If I enter the full 9-digit routing number, I get an error -- too many digits! And of course won't take the account number, either, because that's 8 digits. What do I do about that, just enter the first four digits of the routing number?

thanks!

More specifically: Tax Payments Worksheet / Part I / Information for Electronic Filing / Payment Method: Check / Bank Acct Num: only 4 digits permitted.

So do I simply enter the first four digits of the account number?

Or is it actually asking for the CHECK NUMBER?

Thanks!

Here is part of that popup for the Tax Payments Worksheet:

* Enter the last four digits of the bank account number if the method of payment selected is 'ACH Payment' or 'EFTPS.'
* The EFTPS Confirmation Number is a 10-digit number, required if the method of payment selected is 'EFTPS.'

Please clarify where you are entering a bank account number in TurboTax Business.

Estimated tax payment by paper check. I'm supposed to enter the routing number but TTax allows only four digits to be entered.
