To be kind this is unprofessional.  I am not paying Lacerte $5,500 to either manually or use other software to attach a required form to a tax return so I can e-file it.  I may have to look to another software vendor in the future.

I have been on the phone with Lacerte over an hour to get the news that is prompting my comments.  I am very unhappy.  If I ran my accounting practice like this, I would not have an accounting practice.

Years ago, I had a number of interactions with Larry Lacerte.  He would never let this sort of thing happen.
