TX Franchise rejecting extcode=Go-Livre,start=end=04-30-21 04-30-2021 0600AM]

Seems like a Lacerte prob. Anyone else getting this?

Lacerte Tax

It just means that electronically filing the Texas Franchise Return is not yet available. For some reason it's the same thing every year, Lacerte does not get approval for Texas until several weeks after Federal Filing season has opened. I think there might be a chart or expected date of when it is expected but I can never find it and so just have to try and file one every day and see if it goes through. Rather frustrating to me since I don't want to file the federal until I can file the Texas too.

We are having the same issue. I received the following reply from Lacerte:

Being able to efile to any taxing agency requires an approval process with said taxing authority, so until Lacerte has finished that approval process we can't transmit efile to Texas. Due to the weather situation in Texas right now it is unlikely we will get a status update until next week sometime. I apologize for this inconvenience and I assure you we will take haste in correcting this issue.

The frustrating part of this is that we can e-file using the State Comptroller's website. Wouldn't that mean the system is working? But not for Lacerte?

JoeRod - I think it is two different things. Lacerte (or any tax software) has to get the interaction of their software approved by the powers that be at the Texas Comptroller's office. Whereas the Comptrollers own website is not an upload but rather a direct input. The bottleneck is likely with the Comptroller to a large extent but seems like the entire process could be made to work by January. It's not like the Franchise Return has changed dramatically in 10 years. Tweeks here and there but basically a pretty dang simple computation. A couple times I contacted Texas there reply was "Well, do you realize its not due until May 15th?" To which i replied, "Of course i do, but it's nice to be be able to file the state return at the same time as the federal ... and we can't".
