Form 3800 release date 2/27/25

Does anyone have any insight as to why Form 3800 that was released by the IRS on December 17, 2024 will not be available in Lacerte until February 27, 2025?

At 9:00 PM on 2/17/25, Lacerte's form release tool said it would be released 2/18/25. Now today on 2/18/25, it has been changed to 2/27/25. 

With farm tax returns due March 3rd, our firm, along with many others, is going to have additional pressure to turn these returns around in 4 days.

I also have this problem.  Why is this form available on UltraTax CS now and Drake is releasing it Monday.  Honestly thinking about buying Drake just for farm returns because Lacerte cannot understand the importance of this form.  If anyone at Lacerte is reading this post know that our firm send a post to all CPA's in Iowa asking for help.  Now our whole state knows that Lacerte doesn't respect those of us that do farm returns.  I will post a retraction if Lacerte comes through.  Honestly, it's just a repeat of last year.  Severe disappointment.

Not having Form 3800 ready for filing Farm Individual returns ahead of the March 1 filing deadline is unacceptable. Can't depend on Lacerte to have their product useable when needed!
