TURN ON PRINTING NOW -- CAN'T WAIT FOR JAN 29!!!

[KenGreenberg]

 Who's the genius that disabled printing - even of prior year returns until e-filing opens Jan 23?!?

I wanted to print something on a 2023 return, and printing - even for prior years - is disabled until 1/29 when e-file re-opens.

This is nuts! I want to have people review and approve things prior to e-filing so that in some cases I can e-file on 1/29.

I've also been using the 2023 returns to prepare Form 2553 to request S-Corp filing status. I can't even partial print that single form! That's silly because it takes IRS two months to approve one, and I want to fax a PDF in NOW!

This is forcing me either to create my own PDFs out of screenshots or use the IRS form with a form filler. More time wasted that Proconnect is supposed to save.

This should be fixed right away!

I saw someone post recently that it could be an issue with whether or not your credit card has been charged yet.  It sounds like once the current year charge is processed, the printing issue is solved.

Thanks. But it should say that. The pop up notice talks about IRS being closed and you can print once they re-open for e-file. This doesn't sound like a credit card issue – plus I did the form in tax year 2023 since it's not even available in 2024.

Sorry, I don't use ProConnect, I'm just repeating what someone posted.  I have no way of personally verifying if there is any validity to the post.  As far as printing prior year returns, Intuit doesn't like folks using their software if they are no longer customers, so if you don't have an active license, you are going to have problems printing prior years.

Got it. But the license is active, and Proconnect doesn't do what ProSeries does on prior years. You can do anything in any year as long as you're current. I am. 

You can see that the dialog popup states they shut printing until e-filing opens. Dumb.

Intuit is smart enough to have the dialog box warn me that my license expired, I exceeded credits - whatever. But this message is ridiculous. 

I'm posting here in the hope somebody at Intuit that follows this board sees it and agrees it's just slowing us down needlessly.

People have been posting that for several days now, but evidently folks are still running into the issue.
