I'm on the latest version (40-1210) of Lacerte 2019.

I just tried creating a new client, and it wouldn't proforma to 2020. I get a Bridge Exception - "Invalid Format." All it had was a name, address, and SSN - but still no luck. No special characters.

So I tried a new test client in Lacerte 2019 - just a first and last name and all-9's for SSN. Same result - Invalid Format.

Did Proforma break in the latest version of Lacerte 2019?

P.S. I think it is way too early to be transferring. Do a few to use for tax planning. Do your own to get used to the program. Wait until Mid January, or when the first client bugs you and just transfer as you need them. These first few issue of 2019 proforma and 2020 tax are just way too buggy to expend much energy on.

I am on version 41.101 in TY2020 but it tells me it is the latest version?!

Current is 41.0204 - Tools > Update > tell it to update anyway OR even better use windows to run 2020 Lacerte Web Setup and do a nice neat install again. It will not affect data.
