There is an error on form 8853 in Lacerte calculating line 21 at 2023 rate of $420 when the 2024 rate declined to $410: There appears to be no override unless the number of days is divisible by 420 that matches the correct answer when the actual number of days is multiplied by $410. There is no error or related diagnostic for this.
Currently Lacerte does not attach other state returns to the MD return when e-filing. This is required to claim the credit for taxes paid to the other state on income that MD wants to tax from that state. So, the only resolution is to make paper copies of the other state returns and attach them to a paper filed copy of the MD return. This is especially onerous since I have 5 clients that file tax returns in 20+ states.
I'm noticing errors in the client billing in the latest Proseries software update. The program is adding and billing for forms in the Charges Per Form section that aren't included in the return and omitting others that are. Can someone fix this? It makes the billing feature unusable.
In California, when business entities pay by check and submit a voucher, the state will assess them a whopping 10% penalty. For individuals the penalty is 1%. The problem is that Lacerte continues to print payment vouchers when, if used, the client will get an immediate 10%/1% penalty. The state has also not been abating these penalties. My wild idea is this. Lacerte development team... when we preparers mark the box that the client is subject to mandatory epay. PLEASE DO NOT PRINT THE PAYMENT VOUCHERS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF TO PRINT OUT FOR CLIENTS TO USE. I can not tell you how many times i have gotten the call "well your staff gave me the voucher and i used it"This is an issue for corporate and s-corporate modules, but there may be other modules that are ignoring the mandatory epay rule in California.
Link Display status isn't updating.1. Clients who have been marked done (clicked Yes on the 'TY24 Client Done toggle in upper right) do not show as Completed in the display screen.2. Clients NOT marked done are showing as CompletedLink is a useful and valuable tool. The Client display screen is ESSENTIAL for those users with hundreds of clients. How can we get these corrections done soon?
The font size on the diagnostic page is very small. We can adjust the font size on other sections of Lacerte, but not this one. The diagnostic page report does show the items in larger font, but then the links are not active.
Situation:Taxpayer, Shareholder in Scorp, no SE earnings input to K-1, enrolled in ACA with coverage totals input to Form 39.2. TP is allowed by the LC software to have a SE health insurance above-the-line deduction. Please post an informational diagnostic to alert preparer to disallow it. Posted 2/27/2025
From an organizational standpoint, it would be helpful to have a tab where the clients can be organized by the date the returns are created in the system. Then I could have insight on who to prepare first without having to create my own lists outside of the program.
Part I > Item Q Line 5b or Line 5c are usually triggering "errors" because ProSeries doesn't know how to transfer a blank entry as a 0 entry. All my clients that itemized get this error and almost always the missing entry is 0 because the prior year value was left empty.
