2021 Organizers - when ready?

[renee9]

Does anyone know when the 2021 Lacerte tax organizers will be ready/available to print?

They generally are released in November.

Ready to print? Might not be until January. First release or two is usually buggy.

Thank you. That's what I figured but was hoping for a different answer - ha. Last year it was so buggy until January, and our clients are used to receiving them in December. I was fielding calls every day asking about them, plus we are slammed in January with all of the end of year compliance due (we are not just a tax firm).  It was frustrating, to say the least. But thank you for your response.

Looks like both Organizers and Proforma are available on today's update.

[renee9]

Oh great! We haven't done the update yet. Thanks for sharing!

But they were still updating the 2020 software a week ago.  I wouldn't touch the 2021 program with a ten foot pole this early in the game.

I'm not sure even a twenty foot pole would tempt me... way, way too early. As far as clients wanting organizers 'early'... try saying NO to them.  Remember who is in charge of this rodeo.

Does anyone know when the 2021 tax law will be ready?

Congress is still in session, not to mention some of the state legislatures.  Does anyone know if Lacerte will provide new organizers if retroactive legislation is enacted in March?  

[PhoebeRoberts]

They haven't in the past, so I'm going to go with no.
