How do I prepare and file a final return for a business closing in 2021

Corporation closed May 31, 2021.  I already filed their 2020 tax return but now need to file their final return by July 15th.  How can I do this with the Lacerte 2020 software?

Back up the original return. Copy that return to a different client number. Massage all the data to create a fiscal year return for 1/1/2021 to 5/31/2021. You can then create a PAPER RETURN to file timely. 

It MIGHT be easier to proforma the 2019 to 2020 and start from that to do your new 2021 return.
