Did you mean: 

Use of updates tabs yields no results. Two calls to have not been returned. Program flat out does not seem to be there. Anyone else having these problems?

Rep access does not work.  This is getting downright frustrating.  Anyone out there that gives a rip?

I am unsure of what you mean by update tabs. The most secure way to do an update (there is a new one today) is to follow the instructions given here to run Web Setup from your windows start button. 

For 2020 > Hit the Windows Button > Type "2020 Lacerte Web Setup" > Hit Enter > follow the prompts

REP access is initiated when you go to FORMS view or try to print. HINT: If you want to do a return as practice use all 9s for the EIN or SSN. You will do REP, but there is no charge.

P.S. Loose the attitude. This is a user forum and I and most of the responses you get will be from other VOLUNTEER users that definitely give a rip..

I just REP'd :

Individual with 5 extras states.

Partnership with 5 extra states.

S-Corp with two extra states.

So I think it's working.

You may need to load or update your prep file https://proconnect.intuit.com/community/tax-return/help/how-to-download-and-install-lacerte-prep-fil...

Two days ago the LaCerte representative could not help.  Put me on hold and I waited for over an hour before giving up.

Yesterday rather than stay on hold for an extended period of time I left my number which according to the call meant I would not lose my place in line.  No call back. I inquired as to whether anyone gave a rip and someone said I should work on my attitude.

Today got a representative that could not help, referred me to someone else and I again left my number for a call back.  Never got a call back.  Seems like my rip comment is appropriate.

Program does not work.  I installed prep files as suggested.  No luck.  Representative and I installed rep files again.  Still did not work and I was referred to the same recording of leave your number and we will get back to you.  No call back.  

Three days.  No call backs and I have some work to do.  

I have been a LaCerte user for in excess of 20 years and have never experienced anything like this.

Here's my situation:

1.  all clients carried over from 2019

2.  i open one up, process and click on authorization button

3  program kicks me back to list of clients  (sometimes rep lock button shows; sometimes it doesn't)

Rip, signing off
