Except your API request is "process this return with Lacerte."

All the SDK does is let you connect to the DATA, be it in the stored tables ("this return has this form", or "this amount is stored in the Tax Summary", or "this person made this F4 status on this date"...)  *OR* to look at the raw input data in the client detail.
  (And you really are better off thinking of the stored numbers as being "what is in the Tax Summary"/2-year comparison, rather than "what appears on the 1040 form."  Some of them are not used [sub-sections of Itemized Deductions are calculated & stored, even when the net result is "use Standard"] but they're saved anyhow.)

Everything in the F3/Filter settings, as well as anything that you can Display into your Client List, is all that you have to work with.
