Yes. Or file an extension and wait for 2019 forms and software.

You can use the 2018 Lacerte tax program to file a short year 2019 return, however, if you e-filed the full year 2018 return, you will not be able to e-file the short year return. 

You will have to print and file on paper out of 2018 Lacerte.
