I do not wish to e file.  The box to e file is not checked but I don't get form 8948.

Thanks

If you Google F 8948.... you'll see why you aren't getting it

And are you really using Lacerte software? It's rather expensive.

I started using Lacerte many years ago when I had dozens of LLC's. Now days I am retired and only have 6 or so. Each of these only has one rental property in each so its a pretty simple return.

Do you have any idea why I am not getting the option to generate the form to paper file even though I do not have the boxes checked to efile? 

Am I allowed to contact you by email?

Are you a Specified Tax Return Preparer?

"Specified Tax Return Preparer
A specified tax return preparer is a tax return preparer, as identified in
section 7701(a)(36) and Regulations section 301.7701-15, who is a preparer
of covered returns and who reasonably expects (if the preparer is a member
of a firm, the firm’s members in the aggregate reasonably expect) to file 11 or
more covered returns during a calendar year."

If not, then you don't got to file no stinkin' 8948!!  I believe you are preparing SELF PREPARED or NON-PAID PREPARER returns and should show that on the return in the preparer section.  

Honestly, why not e-file? I think it is much less work and far more efficient. 


Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

Yes, can't you tell that from all the questions posted here about problems with e-filing?

Of course, maybe you are concerned with sending your data through a company that is being sued in a class action, for a data breach took place from Dec. 23, 2023 through Feb. 21, 2024 (the hack was not discovered until Feb. 27).

I am too lazy to look it up so I'll ask anyone:  Was Lacerte implicated or directly named in that lawsuit?

The lawsuit involves Intuit products TurboTax and CreditKarma. But I'm not concerned about the last hack.  I'm worried about the next one.
