Resolution 

Verify W2 data is correct; Suggest to ERO to change the distribution to Check from IRS & get payment for Prep fees upfront.

Another way to word this situation:
IF the program allowed Direct Deposit or RT (Bank product) of this return the IRS would cut the check regardless & the preparer wouldn't get paid.
