RELEASE OHIO TAX FORMS NOW!

Hi @glbowencpa Thanks for posting in the Community about the release of the Ohio tax forms. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and thank you for being a long-time customer. We have shared this feedback with the appropriate team. 

Historically, Ohio forms have been released within fifteen days of the final version becoming available. However, this timeline can vary from year to year.

The Tax Form Availability page is the best place to check for updates on when forms will be available.

You can bookmark the page using Ctrl+D for quick access in the future. We recommend checking it regularly, as it is updated as new information becomes available.

That's weird.  I don't do OH returns but it looks like ProSeries as the basic OH returns finalized and ready for e-file on Monday.

January 30th and still can't complete and print OH returns. Extremely disappointed, whole week has been a wash and can't even catch-up this weekend.

When are the going to release the NYS corporation and personal for conformity/non conformity to the BBB of 2025.

We can not prepare or file any returns! It is February 3

I totally agree. It's February 5th and still no Ohio forms!

We can't get these client's finalized!

Completely unsatisfied with Lacerte.  Spoke with them about a work around to at least allow printing with e-file only water mark and they won't do it.  Was told that the next release date of February 18th should include the ability to print.  Apparently, they do not realize that is almost a 1/3 of the tax season and expect us to just let work pile up on our desk in the meantime.   Offered no return compensation for the fact that you pay nearly $10,000 for software that doesn't allow you to perform what you paid for.  After 30 plus years with Lacerte I will definitely be finding new software for next year after the **bleep** show they are putting us through this year.  It is completely ridiculous and unacceptable that they expect us to wait until mid to late February to be able to print returns.  I hope that every customer who uses Ohio software either receives a full refund for the product they purchased that doesn't work or next year finds a new software provider in the future.  

We have taken to using the OH PDF Fill In form:  just leave it open all day and fill it in for the client and then we can at least give them a copy of the return (takes about 5-10 extra minutes) and get them out the door.  We are only doing this for clients that are pretty simple returns, nothing that we feel an update with the form will change the calculation for anything.  I figured 10 minutes now is better than a back-log later as more and more come through the door.  I am not happy to have to do this extra step but just can't let this get us behind!

It's February 12th and we are STILL waiting on Ohio forms to be finalized. Specifically...Ohio IT k-1, 1140, etc. According to Lacerte's forms availability timeline, the final forms were to be completed two days ago. Received the update today, and forms are still unavailable. I have stacks of returns waiting on this fix. Clients are getting anxious and are already tired of hearing "We are still waiting on our software." This shouldn't be happening this far into the tax season! We pay way too much for this software to not be updated and ready to go when filing season opens!
