Hello! Apologies for delays.

We are working with the states to get final approval on certain forms.

Final approval does not mean you can’t go online to find the forms- it means that we cannot file them because the state or federal agency has not approved these forms for filing yet with a specific software. 

Each year we recreate every form, even though they look just like the forms the state/federal agencies release. We then have to get each form approved by the state/federal agencies. If there are any discrepancies we have to make corrections and re-submit for approval by the state/federal agency. This back and forth can create delays. It is also why certain forms get delayed but not all forms for a specific state.

Again, we don’t blame the states or federal agencies, but this back and forth creates delays. These delays exist with ALL tax software providers [but where we have the LA forms delayed, another provider may have GA, NY, AZ, etc. form(s) delayed]. This can also make some forms available with TurboTax or ProSeries but not Lacerte (and vice-versa) as the software is different and the approvals are unique to the software.

Updates usually occur on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and typically we work especially quick to add these “missing” forms once approval is confirmed by the state or IRS to have it ready for the next update.

I apologize for not having a definitive date, but I hope this helps provide some context!
