Practice Tax Returns in Lacerte?

We are adding an employee and I'm looking through the training dashboard to see how best to set her up for training to do tax returns in Lacerte.  When I was new, we used Drake software and they had these great practice returns that I prepared in the system and then compared my results with the correct results from the sample.  Does Lacerte/Intuit have anything like that? 

What do you all recommend for bringing a new employee up to speed using Lacerte? 

Thanks for any suggestions!

Give them the source docs for a  finalized 2022 return & have them replicated it in the 2022 software.

That's a good idea.  Kind of a DIY set of practice returns.

Thanks!

Yep, with built-in control totals too 😉

This is a good exchange of samples in the program. https://proconnect.intuit.com/community/lacerte-tax-discussions/discussion/are-demo-sample-returns-available-in-lacerte/00/140151

If you are REP for each return, be sure to use all 9s for the EIN or SSN.
