Sadly, there are times that Lacerte has a certain number of characters permitted and not even all of those get used (displayed on the form, or shown in the efile data if you look).

As well, IRS & state may have their own stipulations.  (Say for example IRS allows for 32 characters of a street address, but StateX only permits 28.  [Note for the record that I purely MADE THOSE NUMBERS UP.])

Some people have long names.  There isn't a lot you can do about that.  Type in what you can.  You could also possibly include more full information on page47/Notes, as a Statement riding with the federal and/or state(s) return(s), with the whole construct spelled out correctly and note the character limitation that you are running up against.
