New preparer randomly showing up in Lacerte?
We had a very odd Lacerte issue that I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced. We had a new preparer show up in Lacerte and none of the three people in our firm that know the primary options password had set up a new preparer. We are a CPA firm in GA and after googling the new preparer's name we found out they were from a CPA firm in WI. One of the partners in our firm called Lacerte and the only explanation Lacerte had for us was that someone in our firm may have imported a return that the WI CPA had prepared in the past. We are a small firm so it was easy to confirm that no one had imported anything. Has anyone else had this issue? We are obviously very concerned about privacy. We did confirm with our firm's tech support that no one outside the firm had breached our VPN to access our software so we are at a loss as to how this happened!
