I would not be so upset if I didn't know that many of your competitors are already submitting NC returns for e-file. This delay makes me and my firm look terrible to my clients who know that their friends and family are already filing these same forms.

It's not a problem for other software vendors. I assume the e-file date is the same time as the "final" form. NC forms have been on their website since August. Is everyone going ahead and filing the federal and not doing anything with NC or are you giving clients the watermarked forms if you are certain there are no dollar amount changes?

i can't even get a watermarked copy to print. just says not available. i can't give the client an incomplete tax return copy and charge them for it. i have no revenue from tax season at all yet.

That kinda sucks. Tax season becomes awfully compressed with that time schedule.

I'm sitting here on more than 60 returns in a one person office.

I am in the same boat and I feel too embarrassed to give them a form with "Do Not File" on it. To make matters worse, the S-Corp and other business returns are the same way! I can't get anything finalized and apparently Lacerte expects us to somehow finalize them all after 2/27. I am going ahead and e-filing the federal for clients with refunds. They will get their refunds before I can even print a tax return!

I think Intuit Austin may not have mentioned you have to disable efile error check

Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

This does not work either. The error we get is not a diagnostic error it is a transmission failure. Making this change has no effect on the results.

Okay, I got some updated information from development about this issue this morning. It appears as though the forms are not final and that e-filing has not yet been approved, which is why we're seeing the transmission failure. It sounds like we are targetting a release of 2/21 for the NC forms with agency e-file approval. Our development team is working with the agency to ensure this is their final version and will be ready for e-file on this date.

Why is it taking until 2/21 to get this done? I have checked with other CPAs that use other programs that have been filing since January. Why is it that Lacerte can never get it's products ready before mid February or later?

Am I to understand that NC S corps are not available until 2/27

Unacceptable.

I should be filing NC returns ---NOW not later.

What can Lacerte do to get this corrected.

My answer to you is, call support & complain. We aren't support; this is a forum of fellow software users.
