Notice of Automated Estimated Tax PaymentsNew

It would be really helpful if the system notified us of the prior year’s automatic estimated tax payments when starting a new return. A simple summary of last year’s scheduled and completed payments would make planning and accuracy much easier.

WV Returns with EK-1 Pass-Through CreditsNew

This year, Intuit changed the software making WV IT-140 unable to e-file of the taxpayer has an EK-1 pass through entity credit.If line 26 is populated on the Tax Credit Recap Schedule, the software throws an error indicating the return cannot be e-filed.This has not been an issue in past years. Why the change?  Why were we not notified prior to the change?  This causes a great deal of extra work for us and the taxpayer.  Had we known in advance of the change, we may have considered a different tax preparation software.This needs corrected in an update to the 2025 software.

Re-invite process is klunky and not changing the Intuit Link view in Proseries ProNew

Had to edit an email address in Intuit Link.    It erased all the questions in the client's Link. Went to Proseries Pro to update the client. After updating, the Intuit Link column was still saying "View" not "Invite." During my hold time with the Proseries help line, I tried something and it worked. I saved the file under a new name. Got the "Invite" in Intuit Link column.   Deleted the old file.  Invited with the new file.   It worked. btw, The default questionnaire generated for Intuit Link is outdated by years. I have my own default questionnaire now. I use their checklist, but my updated default questionnaire.

critical e-file diagnosticsNew

We have used Lacerte for many many years now, highly disappointed this tax filing season with the critical e file diagnostics with forms being final but not the IRS instructions, and if you file the return without instructions being final it may cause an Amended return. Example form 8960Seriously we are end of February and refuse to e-file some clients because of this issue, we don't want to make extra work for ourselves.Our Associate in office uses Ultra Tax and he has been able to file clients with this 8960 form since the day tax season opened.come on Lacerte get your act together, we pay a lot of money for the software.

Special allocation of Part II of K3New

I am frustrated by the current limitations in Lacerte's handling of Schedule K-3. It is illogical that special allocations made on the K-1 do not synchronize with the K-3, and even more problematic that Part II cannot be manually adjusted. This defect prevents the software from producing a correct return for partnerships with special allocations. I request that your development team prioritize a fix for this in the upcoming system update to support automated flow and Part II overrides.

1120S NY Extensions do not print the TR-579.1-CTNew

When printing 1st Extensions for an 1120S, the e-file authorization form for NY, TR-579.1-CT, does not print with the 1st extension even though it needs to be signed when there is an automatic withdrawal of the franchise tax.  It has been like this as long as I can remember.  Please add this to the 1st extension print.

Enable sorting of the date on the client logNew

When I go to see if I've backed up the client, I have to scroll down to the bottom of the log.  It would be much more efficient if I could sort the date column so that the newest information is at the top.

Add a suggestion / diagnostic for no tax on tips being disallowed because it is a MFS return.New

The OBBB provisions are still new to all of us. It would have been helpful tonight to have a diagnostic in the suggestions section informing that the Tax on Tips deduction was disallowed because it was a MFS return. Because this was the first time I had tried to enter tips for a schedule C business owner, I spent a lot of time trying to figure out where to input when the real issue preventing Sch 1-A from populating was that it was a MFS return.Granted, I should have known this, but having a diagnostic in the suggestions section would have saved me time and saved the time of your help rep who had to also review to try to figure out why the form wouldn't populate.

Lacerte software ProblemNew

Tax Year 2024 Student Loan Interest entered in federal return transferred to Vermont state tax return Schedule IN-112, Part 1, Subtractions from Federal Adjusted Gross Income line 15a.  Tax Year 2025 the Student Loan Interest is suppose to transfer to IN-112, Part 1, Subtractions from Federal Adjusted Gross Income line16a.  It did not transfer to this form.  I had to manipulate the system in order to get the amount in the return correctly.

NYC forms are still not ready and it is middle of the tax season! NYC professionals what about changing software for the next year?New

NYC forms are not ready! my firm is down to 50 percent returns compared to last year, even through last year was also delayed for a week.I called and representative had no clue what was going on, was not even capable of transferring me to a manager or someone who would have any idea what is happening. So yes, Proseries Professional is not very professional.

K-40H is calculating rollovers as taxable incomeNew

I have an elderly client on hospice.  He rolled over funds in 2025, but had very little taxable income.  The K-40H is pulling in all of his rollovers as if they were income received, and when I spoke to customer service they said that was correct by Kansas standards.  I understand the homestead refund included taxable and nontaxable income in the total income calculation, but how could they be pulling in rollovers to that income amount?

Lacerte creates files with same name in SmartVaultNew

For example - multiple Efile ACK letters, extensions, estimates, etc.  Have the same name - ie - e-file Acceptance Letter.  Print only once OK, but second letter overwrites first letter.Either give different letters or add multiples (1), (2), to the file name.If this isn't Lacerte - make SmartVault do it.

Format the input for Partner K-1 Supplemental InformationNew

It would be very helpful if we could format the information we input in the Partner K-1 Supplemental Information so it is useable. Right now there is no efficient way to attach K-1 statements to the K-1s. We need the ability to type in or copy in multiple footnotes and have spaces inbetween the different footnotes so it is readable. The formatting available in this post input would be sufficient.

Federal Form Form 8825 Schedule ANew

Line 30 currently lacks a detailed breakdown, which hinders the proofing process. Because Form 8825 is triggered by assets exceeding $10M across nine properties, the manual verification is time-consuming. Please develop a worksheet or automated solution that provides specific itemization for Line 30 to streamline the review.

Intuit Link- Solving duplicate client accountsNew

I use Intuit Link and ProSeries. I need to be able to merge duplicate client accounts in Link.The best way to securely get a new client's SSN and other info is through Link, so the easiest thing to do is create them in Link, invite them, collect a W2, then create their account in Proseries with accurate, complete information. But when done in that order, the client will never have the great checklist FROM Proseries. Inviting the client from Proseries only creates a duplicate account. A potential workaround would be adding an *optional* SSN field on the Link edit client screen. If we could do that, then information sent from Proseries would match with the existing Link client. Link requires a unique SSN. This wouldn't help us fix the duplicates we already have, but would help immensely going forward.Thanks for reading this far! I'm sure I'm not the only one dealing with this.

Negative amounts on the retained earnings field on a Louisiana S corporation returnsNew

If line 26 of Balance Sheet on page 14 of the Louisiana S Corporation return has a negative amount, Pro Series throws up an error message. On a small corporation you could go to the federal form and elect to not present a balance sheet which will carryover to the Louisiana corporate form and eliminate the red flag. Then, you can submit the returns. But, if your corporation is too large and a balance sheet must be presented, then the only way to submit the return is to not engage the error check feature when conversion occurs. Alternatively, ProSeries could just have one of its programmers fix this error and save everyone a lot of worry. After all, we do pay a lot of money for this program.
