The renewals are out

That's funny... except it isn't.   Sure doesn't go a long way towards instilling confidence in the Company now does it?

I love my Lacerte software for processing returns.  But it has been SO unstable & temperamental when downloading updates that it's become a problem.  I'm networked, with three 'seats'.  It can take a couple of hours to get updates loaded (mainly those Thursday afternoon ones, the big ones).   It was so bad I would rearrange the staffing schedule because of it.

And I'm will be evaluating other software before re-upping as the situation just isn't viable.  And I'm NOT  hosting candidate.... too many internet outages here in rural/resort Northern California.  Plus, Intuit shutting down the ability to work off-line this year was a real pisser.  

I get a Lacerte screen too. Then when I try to view my own quote, it tries to sell me that Hosted BS.

I think all of the tax software companies do that, i.e.  send out the invoices or bills for the next year's software. Tax season just ended April 18th, and for many of us it continues, yet they send the bills out already. I think I'm going to send my own billing invoices out to my annual clients for their 2023 tax returns right now.
