Able to print detail listing of form 8949New

Schedule D only shows items of basis not provided to IRS and items not in brokerage statement, it will be helpful if a detail list of all form 8949 input items can be printed out.

Intuit Link Client Portal enhance reminder email functionalityNew

I really appreciate the creation of the functionality to send a weekly reminder to clients to get started in the portal.  However, I would like the ability to have more flexibility and more options on the details of this functionality.  For example, I would like to be able to change the wording of the reminder emails themselves, so they are not so confusing.  I would also like to pause the initial reminders once the client gets started in the portal (not keep reminding them every week until they mark it as done, since the reminders are set to end at 5).  For some, I may want to pause reminders once they get started, and then restart the reminders after two or three weeks of no activity.  For some clients, especially those who have a lot of K-1s which aren't available until March or later, I would like to hold off on starting the reminders for a month or more.  For others, I may want to remind them every 2 weeks, instead of weekly.

Create a "triage" step when seeking tech support. Specify subj Fixed assets/deprec; Form 2555New

The functionality of the tax software is broad and deep. In the pursuit of technical support, the crap shoot of connecting with someone who has direct, hands-on experience with the subject matter of the call seems to be inversely dependent on the complexity of the issue. Apparently many helpers have no experience in actual tax return preparation, where and how to enter data, etc.  - I'm not referencing an understanding of the Internal Revenue Code - just when and how to enter into the software the data known to be needed by the tax algorithms, particularly in resolving diagnostic problems. The issues re Form 2555 (foreign earned income exclusion), multiple activities across multiple states plus related depreciation complications, likely are not related to 95% of Pro-Connect tax returns.  Ergo, likely most tech support personnel ("experts") have no hands on experience in such esoteric matters. It is exasperating to listen to tech support personnel educate themselves by reading the  Pro-Connect resource material provided to the front-line "experts" (a stretch). Doubtless some folk on the Pro Connect payroll have the knowledge and expertise.  Typically it has taken me multiple call-ins to converse with someone who knows - it taxes my patience to hear Pro-Connect personnel speculate "let's try this...." and those who do not understand the concepts of how the software works.  Today I was told that the fixed asset/depreciation function has a "known bug." It took me 5 phone calls totaling over 2 hours to learn this important tid-bit. Half of "the experts" did not speak intelligible English.  Consider permitting "users" access to the on-line resources that apparently are available to the "experts."

Superseded Tax Return CostNew

It does not make sense that the cost of filing a superseded tax return is not included with the cost of filing the original return. The reasons for filing a superceded return are the same for amended returns. The only difference is that you file the superseded return if your tax due date has not passed.Please remove the requiremnt to purchase another return for filing superseded tax returns.

706: Lacerte not ready by the return due dateNew

Lacerte cannot prepare Form 706 for a death that occurred 10 months ago! WE ARE PAST THE DUE DATE! As of 17 Nov 2025, Lacerte software is not updated for the August 2025 revision of Form 706. The prior version of Form 706, which is the August 2019 revision, is only for deaths on or before 12/31/2024, so for deaths after 2024, Lacerte has no Form 706 for Estate Tax Returns that are due before the 2025 software is finalized to produce Form 706, which looks to be March 2026 or later. This is months after the due dates of Forms 706 for deaths that occurred in the first quarter of 2025. PATHETIC!

Make PDF creator compatible with new Mac processorDiscussion ongoing

Lacerte's PDF creator is not compatible with the new Mac M2 processor. This would seem to be an easy compatibility fix, since the M2 processor is compatible with Microsoft PDF creator.  I've been a long time Lacerte user on a Macbook with Parallels to create a Windows environment.  The Mac M2 processor is fantastic, so please make the Lacerte PDF creator compatible. I would love to continue being a Lacerte user.

Quick Employer FormsNew

I am writing this an was of the loyal users of Proseries Professional softwarewho is frustrated that each year starting from 2023 Proseries Quick Employer Forms stops working and a banner for selling next tax season tax software is all that appears. This is very frustrating because we still have more than 2 months to the end of the year and the IRS is still accepting efiles.  The reason we get is that Quick Employer Forms is in maintenance, that is not true not every year. The truth is to sell Quick Employer Forms. The bigger issue is that with that Sales Banner appearing we tax professional cannot efile current tax forms(1099s etc), we cant print copies for our clients when they need them, we can't solve any IRS and State tax issues, we cannot look at prior year tax forms we filed, we cannot do any business to make a profit and pay bills, we are completely shutdown by Intuit yet we paid for access to the software for the entire y

Signature date automation from DocusignNew

The taxpayer (and spouse) signature dates on the tax return should be automatically updated when the client signs via DocuSign. This is easily done using DocuSign’s APIs and would save a lot of time, because often the last critical error to be resolved before creating an e-file is having the taxpayer’s signature date populated. Right now, ProConnect forces its users to either pre-populate that field before the return is actually signed (and compromise the accuracy of the return) or wait until the return is signed and then manually open the return and update the field

Bulk create e-filesNew

There should be an option to create e-files in bulk. I understand there is an option to bulk submit e-files, but ProConnect still requires you to manually go in to every return and create the e-file. This would be massively helpful to firms like mine, where the expectation of workflow is that (1) the return is completed and error-checked by the preparer/reviewer, (2) the client is billed and pays, (3) the client reviews and signs via Docusign, and (4) the e-file is created and filed. In most cases, steps 2 and 3 occur with no changes required to the return, and so during busy season, there are, for my firm, often 20-30 returns per day that require no action except creating the e-file. Doing this in one step, rather than 20-30 separate steps (which require multiple clicks/screens in ProConnect) would save a lot of time. I am a recent convert from TaxWise, where this feature had been deployed for many years.

Please add a hotkey to scroll to the first letter of a client name in EF view and all files view.  We spend a lot of time scrolling up and down to find a client. Take a look at how you can enter a single letter (or multiples)  and immediately jump to that entry in windows explorer. The search box provided is pretty useless.

Subject: Request to Add ID PIN Reminder Feature in ProSeriesNew

Dear ProSeries Team,We have recently been experiencing a number of IRS rejections due to missing Identity Protection PINs (ID PINs) on submitted tax returns.It would be very helpful if the software could include a dedicated section within the Federal Information area for entering the taxpayer’s ID PIN. Additionally, a reminder feature—such as a checkbox or alert—could prompt preparers to ensure the ID PIN is entered before submitting the return.This enhancement would help prevent filing errors and reduce the number of rejected returns.Thank you for your consideration.Best regards,Charlie Dang

3800 Carryover from 2023 listed as non-passive when passiveNew

In screen 34, developers mentioned that the Carryovers/Misc Section are only for non-passive carryovers but there is nothing to indicate that in Lacerte. Can there be an update to indicate that section is only for non-passive carryovers? There is no identification of the section as non-passive nor any instructions with an F1 help for the input to indicate it is for non-passive credits. Passive Carryovers are only allowed in the specific section of the K-1 on screen 34 not the Carryovers/Misc. section.  If you enter the carryovers in the wrong section, it could falsely generate the 3800 allowing it as non-passive credit to offset taxable income. In addition, if there is no passive activity income to apply to the passive credit, the 3800 form incorrectly excludes the entire amount as a carryover on the Part IV Line 4 (the credit we had was for the 8846), which I think should still be reported as a passive carryover in column d but column e-i should all be -0- when they don't apply. It should be still shown as a carryover to 2024 just as it does on the 8582-CR, so this needs to be corrected.
