We noticed that when you have the s corporation that on the E pg 2, there would be statement for the basis, but the statement pages are blank.   Statement lines are there on the E pg 2.  I didn't know if that intentional or not since really it is reported on 7203 now.

Yep, I'd bet it's intentional. Before 7203 was released, but after it had been announced, Lacerte tried to petition the IRS to accept their statement as a substitute for 7203.  Then when 7203 was released and Lacerte saw the debt breakouts, they realized they had to integrate the form.  So I would imagine they axed the statement to buffer against the risk of inconsistent reporting due to algorithms.

I hope they are keeping / kept the state basis statements.  Haven't gotten there yet to see with my clients.  I'm in CA, and their basis is WAY diff than federal.
