Filing date is May 17...really??

[Jody55]

So if the filing date of the 1040's is May 17, 2021 and both IRS and Lacerte have announced this 2 WEEKS AGO, why am I STILL having to enter that day MANUALLY into Lacerte in order for it to be reflected in the letter to the clients????  This is so Mickey Mouse ridiculous!  I mean.....how difficult could it be to fix this little but HUGELY annoying problem???

They have subcontracted the work out to Walt Disney and Mickey is working as fast as he can.

How do you override the 4/15/21 due date in Lacerte?

There's a banner/notice at the top of the forum....

@JudyEA For the 1040, Screen 3 > Client Letter > Due Date of return[O]

Definitely not a good idea to do an override in Lacerte. In this case just be a bit patient and there will be an update before May 17.
