Integrate the system you use to plug submission ID numer to grab the dependent number that was already claimed.Error: eview the Description field. There will be a number in brackets, [?], that identifies which one is causing this reject. For example: "[2]" will identify the second Qualifying Child on Schedule EIC. Verify that the child's information has been entered accurately. Correct any misspellings, omissions, or transpositions. Make sure the child's SSN is entered correctly. If the Qualifying Child's information is correct, and you want to electronically file this return as it was originally submitted, an Identity Protection PIN will be required. Visit www.irs.gov/getanippin for further information. Code: SEIC-F1040-506-04
PLEASE consider including the Tax Bracket Worksheet at the bottom of the Federal Income Tax Summary so it will print for all clients. I have so many clients asking about how their federal tax is calculated, what is an effective tax rate and marginal tax rate. This would great to include for all clients. I do not include "Worksheets" with client return copies because it makes for too long of a copy for which many clients do not even read these details. At least can you configure the program for preparers to have the option in settings to include in client copy would be great. Thank you.
Hi,It would be great if there was a log somewhere that showed me when I had sent a client their return through the Intuit Link. It would be great if those PDFs saved somewhere so when they request another copy it's the date from when I sent it last time and not today's date.I forget who I've sent returns to and either I end up sending them seven times or not at all because I can't tell what I have or haven't sent. This makes me look unprofessional.
RDP couples residing together in community property states, like CA, must file separate federal returns as single individuals, and their separate federal returns should include community property allocations, as detailed on Form 8958. However, as many prior posters have pointed out, Form 8958 in ProSeries is informational and does not change any calculation on the federal return.To accurately reflect the community property allocations on each federal return, some preparers enter half of each partner's community amounts on each return, but this can result in IRS mismatch notices. Accordingly, some preparers enter aggregate adjustments for income, deductions, withholding, and credits (e.g., an aggregate income adjustment is entered on Schedule 1, Line 1z on both federal returns). This potentially resolves the mismatch notices, but aggregate adjustments may not yield accurate calculations overall (e.g., qualified dividends are taxed differently than ordinary dividends). Additionally, certain negative adjustments result in e-file rejections from the software (e.g., a negative withholding adjustment on Form 1040, Line 25c results in an e-file rejection).Ideally, ProSeries should support entering community property allocations independent of the info from each partner's underlying tax forms. This would help ensure the accuracy of the federal returns while preventing IRS mismatch notices and e-file rejections from the software.
I've always wanted to add an unreasonable request for a program feature that will be the last step in removing the human element from the return preparation process. I think I have found one. I was working on a return with a Schedule C, and a taxpayer who qualifies for the deduction for self-employed health insurance. But when I entered it, the refund decreased. Took me a few minutes to figure it out. They had enough medical to claim the excess over 7.5%, and to itemize. So, they get the $5,000 deduction for health insurance in any case. But claiming it as SEHI, lowers their QBI by $1,000. Intuit should have warned me not to do it. And of course, then Intuit should have first figured out whether lower AGI would prevent higher Medicare premiums next year. Or reduce the $6K/$12K senior deduction.
I run Windows 11 using Parallels on a Mac with an M4 processor. In Lacerte 2024 this caused an issue in printing to the Lacerte PDF print option, but caused no other issues. Lacerte could not sovle the problem for me. For 2025, not only can I not print to the Lacerte PDF printer, it also is not allowing me to send documents for eSignature - I get a pop-up stating "there is an error trying to create the PDF document". I run the PDF repair tool as prompted, but then I get an error stating "the software for Intuit Amyuni Document Converter 650 may not work correctly". I've even added a fake Lacerte PDF printer, which allows it to think it is creating a PDF, but then I get an error when I try to send the eSignature stating that "Form Federal 8879 is not applicable to this return and it will not be included in the esignature request. I've wasted hours using AI trying to solve this issue before going to Lacerte. The very nice agent tried to help me solve it, but in the end Lacerte claims it is "not their issue".
Lacerte has a very basic schedule d import. However, inexplicably, you can't import the very specific details that needs disclosure on the 8949. According to IRS instructions, stock transactions with wash sales and market discounts should be detailed in the 8949. So one would expect to be able to import the hundreds of transactions that accompany these details but for some reason Lacerte omits these data fields from being imported. It is a database. In theory, you should be able to "pick a field" to import and append the data to the table. Why not allow the user discretion over the fields to import? especially fields that would require the additional detailed disclosures required of the forms being reported on.
It would be great if Lacerte could produce a worksheet for reviewers to use to be able to see what inputs are going into lines 1a & 8a on Sch D without having to review the input screen. For all the other Sch D lines, we can review the items on Form 8949. But for lines 1a & 8a, it is harder to review these.
