Question

County name required on Federal information worksheet

This is new, and has to be entered manually.  When entering client address, if you enter zip code, city/town name shows automatically.  Why does county name not also show automatically?  I know there are a few zips that span more than one county, such as 02467, but I would say that is the exception rather than the rule.

If it's so important why doesn't the software just enter it automatically when you enter the zip code, like it does for the city/town and state?

Intuit finds the city based on ZIP, using third-party software.  Either county information isn't available, or that upgrade costs more.

That's interesting to know.  Thanks.

@DonnaAbbott  You're correct...  PS 2025 is requiring county input on all transferred returns... Let's hope it's a programming issue....  

If at first you don’t succeed…..find a workaround

New software update today.  The county field is still there but, as far as I can tell, you don't get an error if you leave it blank.

I guess the squeaky wheel does get the grease!
