I just tried to e-file my first FinCEN 114 FBAR today. It failed, with a message: Validation Failure: Error 54: Tax Year 2025 Transmissions are not available. Resolution: Lacerte is not ready to process Tax Year 2025 transmissions for this return.

Has anyone else received this error? Is Lacerte really not yet ready to process FBAR's in mid-February?? Or is there something wrong in my client file?

Same here.. I have a handful of FBARs I've been trying to file since end of Jan and I keep getting that message. Lacerte really dropped the ball this year

Someone posted on another thread that there is an update tomorrow (02/18) and then another one is scheduled for 03/04. Hopefully tomorrow's update releases all the forms 🤞

No luck filing FBAR's with yesterday's (2/17) release. I'm not sure if it is a Lacerte desktop issue, or Lacerte isn't able to receive the filings yet.

I asked Lacerte e-file support yesterday, and as usual, the response was useless.
