California FTB Form 540 and 540CA. Currently these forms are not approved yet and will not print out on the Lacerte Tax system. Is there anyway to bypass the system to print the forms off for my clients

The only way I can think of is to make screenshots and print them out.

CA forms have been final and are being utilized by all the other software companies that I have inquired of.  They have been able to file forms since opening day, with the exception of a couple forms that were not final for a day or two. Lacerte has not done the scheduled update for yesterday, 2/4/2025.  LACERTE IS NOW PROJECTING THAT THE NEXT UPDATE WILL NOT BE UNTIL AT LEAST THE 10TH OF FEBRUARY.  At least one of their other, if not 2 out of the 4,  tax software packages have the forms for CA and people are able to file and Print entire returns no problem.  

THIS IS 100% A LACERTE ISSUE.  The fact that they did not send out yesterdays scheduled update AND they have not sent any information to those of us that have bought this product, is more than negligent.  Bad business to treat their customers so unprofessionally.  I have been using this product for over 35 years.  We will finally be making an exodous this year.  It is one thing to blow it or have issues, but it is entirely another to leave us all hanging without any information AND to make the updated forms available for their other software packages.  They obviously do not value their Lacerte customers.

Hi @ddmorita1 great to see you in the Community and thanks for posting about Form 540 and 540 Sch CA for Lacerte. The 540 and sch CA but not Sch CA NR will be available for printing later today in the program.
