Form 3800 NEEDED before MARCH 1!

The IRS has had form 3800 out for quite a while, but not Lacerte.  We need form 3800 for our 1040 March 1 filers!  Lacerte says March 7 here:

https://form-status.app.intuit.com/tax-forms-availability/formsavailability?albRedirect=true&product=Lacerte&bu=pcg

That doesn't work for March 1 filers (qualified farmers)!

    As a general rule, if you have farmers that rely on the March 1st rule, you shouldn't be using an Intuit tax product.  It is fairly common that Intuit is very slow to release some forms.

    Whether you decide to change products or convince your farmers to not use the March 1st rule, that is up to you.

    This not acceptable for what is supposed to be one of the best tax software out there.  Really considering switching.  Have to be able to do tax returns in February not wait until April to do all the tax returns.

    You must have read that on an Intuit website. 😶

    @jrocke For Lacerte: For 1040 returns, the needed calculations for Form 3800 have been released. Calculations for Elective Payments and Transfers are still pending product changes. For business returns, Form 3800 is still under development See here for more info.

    @1569 , 1040 is what I need it for, but I can't e-file until the actual form is released, correct?
