Yep, I'd bet it's intentional. Before 7203 was released, but after it had been announced, Lacerte tried to petition the IRS to accept their statement as a substitute for 7203.  Then when 7203 was released and Lacerte saw the debt breakouts, they realized they had to integrate the form.  So I would imagine they axed the statement to buffer against the risk of inconsistent reporting due to algorithms.

I hope they are keeping / kept the state basis statements.  Haven't gotten there yet to see with my clients.  I'm in CA, and their basis is WAY diff than federal.
