Again this year we are waiting on the release of Louisiana partnership and corporation returns.  Here we are with the federal deadline approaching and all I get is it will be release within 15 days of approval.  The federal return is due in almost 15 days.  I have reach out to other CPA's using other tax software who indicate they are filing returns and Louisiana forms are available.  Our clients are calling and inquiring about their returns.  Its a bad reflection on our firm for not getting these returns out timely.  It is not productive or cost effect to process the federal return then come back and process the state.  At minimal we should be able to print the state return even if it says DO NOT FILE on it.   At least we can get the returns out and maybe hold the consent forms until the form is released.
