I would really like to know why Intuit/Proseries went to so much trouble to implement Form 5471, but did not make the very small additional feature of enabling a dormant (e-)filing, which would have required only implementing a check-box to activate an automatic text ("Filed Pursuant to Rev. Proc. 92-70 for Dormant Foreign Corporation"), and a relatively small amount of additional programming (compared to the whole 5471 implementation). For those of us that need to file dormant 5471's, we CANNOT use Proseries, we still have to use a 3rd party form set and attach as a PDF. This is completely unbelievable. It must have taken Proseries 100's of hours to implement the 5471 form-set, and it would have increased the developer load maybe 1% to implement dormant filing. I can only surmise that this omission was INTENTIONAL. Dormant filing, AFAIK, is possible in Lacerte and Proconnect.
