ProSeries says the 1040 will be ready on 1/25 ----------- I'll go with that date.  I'm guessing they have more insider information than me.

I won't be Efiling anything until the first week of February, I'll let some other people test drive the system first!

I agree, Lisa.  I have NO desire to be the Guinea pig.  And I'm of the mind set that the software is going to have even *more* issues this year.  Lacerte can't even get the bitmap info for printing borders on the organizers right.  Seriously, HOW has that changed in the last ten plus years?  Intuit's ability to break things that have functioned just fine for decades is truly amazing.

They broke the ability to send eOrganizers to the spouse email 7-8 (or more) years ago and can't be bothered to fix that.
