Can we sign in offline for TY22 ? Previous years had the option to not sign in with Wifi. Work without an internet connection. I dont see the box this year.

I disconnected my wi-fi, then started up ProSeries, I did get the Sign in Offline option, but it told me my password as wrong (tried 3 times to make sure it wasnt my finger flub).....sooo it looks like it doesnt work, but it should.

@1569  can you add anything here?  Lots of us have inconsistent internet connections and NEED that option.

I noticed this year you must enter your email address and password to work off line.  In previous years it saved your email address and you only had to enter your password.

No you must have internet.

I didn't have internet for over a half day last week and wasn't able to log in without it

I called support and was told I needed internet to log in. PERIOD.

Big problem when we do have outages and can't work on tax return's without internet. We should have been told this before we renewed for this year.

Another problem with Intuit products in general that do not care about customer service or supporting professionals who don't have the luxury of shutting down when the internet is down. Very scary to depend on software that doesn't work offline especially if you are working outside the office and don't have a secure connection. Even though tax professionals are probably their biggest client, they do nothing to support us but make life even more stressful during busy season. I can't think of how many days I've spent on the phone with support for things that I could've fixed myself in 5 minutes if the software allowed me to do my job. 

Any update on fixing ProSeries 2022 so we can sign in offline?

I have to put off some of my clients until this issue is fixed.

After contacting us about this, you will see this message regarding--
TY22 ProSeries signing offline: We are currently working to resolve. 
Our next update is currently scheduled to occur on or before: 02/24/23 

This was probably the first step to eventually move everyone to ONLINE only Tax Software which is coming. Same thing that is happening to QUICKBOOKS which is forcing clients to online only and a monthly fee. 

All I need is 2 years then they can do whatever they want...lol

Hello! 
I got word this has been implemented, just confirming that you're able to sign in off line. Thanks! 

I have been with ProSeries for 22 years,  For this year I am unable to sign in offline to ProSeries 2022.  Not so with the other years.  I called customer service and got no where.  The "expert" was a very nice person but she didn't have a clue.  Despite all the similar complaints I have read about this issue it was like ProSeries never faced this issue prior.  I had the hardest time telling her that shutting off the router was not going to solve the issue since there was no internet service where I was trying to access offline.  I finally got fed up and asked for a supervisor.  She came back on line and told me to reinstall 2022.  I hung up at that point.  Anyone have any suggestions or solutions??
