    I would hope that this is a one time occurrence. 

    What did you do to "save" the data. It should be saved automatically. 

    If it repeats Contact Support

    That happened to me a couple weeks ago... but it was awful. I printed the tax return (it was fine) and mailed it to the client.  When I received the signed 8879 forms back and went to electronic file, a quarter of the data I had entered for that tax return was gone!   It was horrible.  Had to have the client PDF all the data I had mailed back to him.  Thank heavens I always look at the 8879 in the computer as a "check it" procedure.   It was about mid March if I recall correctly.   (there might be a bug somewhere).  Due to that issue, I have been over diligent in my check it procedures with every incoming signed 8879.

    It has happened to me with a couple of client files.  Entered all of the data, sent them to review, when they went to review them, all of the data was gone.  It was like I hadn't worked on it at all except the client log still showed that I did in fact work in the files.  Lacerte is having some serious issues this year.

    @sgatlanta @PuzzlingInGa what type of network are you on? Possibly the workstation is not saving on the correct drive?
