Might I suggest that Intuit push out SOME type of comment/notice regarding this?

All of the repetitive questions about "why isn't the software ready yet to handle a bill that hasn't even been signed in to law" (as of 3.11.21 a.m.) is overwhelming the board & keeping other questions that deserve answers from being seen.

Not to mention the irritation factor.

A single post/notice that *we* could refer alllllllllllll these folks to might prevent some 'issues'.

Thanks

Agree! My colleagues using Drake software, a far less expensive program received messages via email yesterday about changes that were forthcoming regarding the treatment of unemployment AND the 2020 change to the Advance Premium Credit that doesn't have to be repaid, which was the first I heard about that.

I just want Intuit to address the issue of "when" software changes *might* happen.

The non-taxability of UIC, the APTC repay, etc - those issues should be researched by the tax professionals themselves.

It is not the software's function to teach "us" tax law.

The top of the page has this:

"For the latest information on the American Rescue Plan, please check here"

And that link has updated content. But if you come here not using a browser, do you see that informational notation?

Even if you make your own Macro, you have to spend the time opening the topic and replying. We need an Intuit Bot, the same as the Dancing Girls use.

As of this morning, that link hadn't been updated since Feb 27th.

Glad to see they finally got around to it...

And it say NOTHING about what Intuit has planned regarding when a software update might be available, which is what a lot of the repetitive questions are asking.

AND it is what I've asked Intuit to do; to get in front of this issue and explain (so "we" don't have to and so we have a quick link to send folks to) that until the IRS takes action there's IS no time line for when the software providers can update the program.

WE know it's going to take some time, but these other folks seem to think all that is necessary is the waving of a magic pen makes it happen.

"that link hadn't been updated since Feb 27th."

It's got content to March 12. They added to the Top part, to most current.

I made that comment a few days ago, that the helpful piece of info was when would the Forms Availability page be updated to show when the Forms would be updated to show when the Program when be updated.
