What is the holdup with Intuit?.  In prior years the software was released in early January.  Intuit is reduceing our tax season to less than 45 days for entity returns which makes it extremely difficult for the preparing firms paying for their software.  The local PA is not scheduled to be released until February 20th.  Since they have moved the PA tax date back so many times, who knows when that release date is.

    This pertains to the PA 40?  Release date is not until 2/20??

    @GodFather he is talking about the local wage tax form that is in the PA module. This form is mailed to the local wage tax collector. But Pro Series is printing "do not mail" and "e-file only" on it. The form is not e-filed. What a joke. It seems like Every year it is an issue with this simple form that hasn't been changed since Isaac Newton painted the Mona Lisa. @gpreston322 here is what I'm going to do if it is not updated and corrected soon. I'm going to uncheck the activation box on that local wage tax form, so then the federal and Pa can both be efiled. Then I'll just prepare the local wage tax form by hand. You can get blank forms from the local tax collector or your client may bring one in.

    Thanks for confirming, @PATAX.  I'm familiar with the local tax form and use it frequently.  I don't understand why they make it difficult.  As you mentioned, there has not been a change on that form (that I am aware of) in years.  It's a generic form, it's not even specific to a certain locality, so what is the issue?  I'll just print it directly from the vendors website.  Most of mine are through Keystone.  

    I'm just happy it's not the PA 40.
