I could not agree with your more!  This is totally unacceptable to not have 8995-A Schedule D available for use by now.  Like you, I have stacks of farm returns due March 2 that are waiting on this form.  I cannot imagine what form Lacerte can be working on that is more important than this form since it is needed for the March 2 filing deadline??  And to not even give a us possible release date??  I have clients getting upset, and I cannot blame them when the form is available on the IRS website and has been since December 19.  I wish Lacerte would at least comment on this issue and give us some hope that they are working on it and put out an expected release date.
