I can only really speak to Alabama but this State has been treated as a stepchild for many years, every since Intuit bought the software. I have used this software since it came out in the early 80's developed by ChipSoft. The problem with late releases and software issues on the Alabama software began when Intuit bought out the previous owner (and I can't remember who that was). Although we do other state returns, they usually come in later and so I don't know as much.
