I have noticed that out of 27 partnership returns that we e filed yesterday, all of the Federal returns have been accepted by the IRS, and zero of the California partnership returns have been accepted.  Been 24 hours, nothing accepted yet.  Anyone else having issues like this?

Same here and this morning I got them rejected. Will try to resubmit them right now...

Well, that is very interesting.  After I read your message, I went to my partnership module and you're right, during the last hour or so, all of the returns have now been marked "rejected" for the same reason that you described.

 

What's even more interesting is that i phoned Lacerte technical support about 1.5 hours ago regarding these returns not yet being accepted, and they knew nothing about this issue, just told me to patiently wait another 3 business days.  So, apparantly Lacerte knew there was a problem, pushed out the update yesterday, but still hasn't notified their tech support team of the issue.  Very poor communication between the departments.  Very inefficient for customers and for Lacerte as well.  Poor management.
