Hi, I filled out form 8888 for $4,500 for i-bonds.

My total refund was for argument say 7500. I filed estimated taxes too for the other $3k to be applied toward. So I should have no other refund.

Everything shows up great until I go to file and choose e-file.

Now it asks me where I want the $4500 refund to be applied and it only gives me option of a direct deposit to my bank account or a check. It ignores that I filed 8888.

I can access the form 8888 in the info wks and it does show on line 5A of the 8888 4500 and totals the 4500.

@SweetieJean I know you had answered some questions last year. I also PM'd you the same question.

Hoping anyone can answer honestly.

Thank you.

On the screen where it asks you if you want direct deposit or a check, scroll all the way down. At the very bottom of the screen there is a box to check to indicate that you want to purchase I bonds. Check the box, then keep going. The exact sequence depends on whether you selected direct deposit or a check, but you will get to a screen where you can enter the amount you want to purchase. If you already filled out Form 8888 in forms mode, the amount from your form will be filled in.
