Form 5695

Anyone know when Lacerte is going to have form 5695 available?

Given that Residential Energy Credits were part of the last minutes retroactive extenders passed just before Christmas...  I'm guessing that not even the IRS has it ready yet.   And there's a time delay from the time the IRS has it ready to when Intuit can finalize it.

I believe IRS just published it since it is available online.  I downloaded latest update from Lacerte today and they are now including it in the calculation.  A couple days ago they were not.  So I know progress has been made just curious if anyone heard from Lacerte as an estimate date for this release.

Once IRS releases it, then Intuit has t program it and submit to IRS for approval, so it generally takes a couple weeks at least before its released to us to use.

Ok.  That's what I was thinking too, told me clients to expect a 2 week delay in their refund for those with extenders.

I am guessing mid to late February based on this post for PS https://proconnect.intuit.com/community/proseries-news-and-updates/discussion/2018-irs-tax-extenders...
