Removing tax Modules and States to the Lacerte Tax Program

[jenhorton]

I currently have tax modules and states in my Lacerte tax program which I no longer need.  I found many topics on how to ADD tax modules and states; how do I REMOVE tax modules and states???  Can I do it for the current year?  Or must I await 2019 and do it upon install.  Using Lacerte on a Windows 10 computer.

The keyword is UNINSTALL https://accountants-community.intuit.com/articles/1606995-uninstall-rename-and-reinstall-lacerte

Removing states and modules will make the update run more quickly.

I think I'm understanding that I must completely uninstall Lacerte and then reinstall the program and at that time choose NOT to include those states and tax modules, is that correct?  And I won't lose what I've already done in Lacerte this year?

Yes. That is correct. You will not loose any data. BUT you should ALWAYS HAVE A BACKUP. Including an options backup.
