Anyone else not buying the latest answer from ProSeries on the 8879-C

So I have been wondering when ProSeries would remove the unprofessional watermark "Do Not File Form Not Ready" from the 8879 C. While on about another issue, I asked a second time about this watermark. Here is what i was told:

You don't print these forms out. My response: I need a client to sign it. Every other return's 8879 prints without a watermark. Response: You have another option, which is the added on feature of esignature.

Makes no sense. Now I am going to have to fill out the 8879 C manually using IRS.gov forms.

Adds to my theory - no one programming or working support has any tax preparation experience. Do they have no clue what we need, why we need it or when we need it

Here is my theory: they want us to buy higher priced products or add ons. The solution of using esignature is a money grab for them. Its not a solution. This is a basic form!

I also believe they want us to move to ProConnect which is their cloud based program - and more costly.

@cpa72 I'm not seeing a watermark being printed on the 8879C. You can confirm that you are on the latest version of the 1120 by going to the Help menu and selecting About ProSeries. On the Version tab you should see an entry for S2021US1120. That version should be at 2021.7.0.0.

Thanks. I downloaded the updates this morning. I have narrowed the issue down to the fact that I am using their hosting product. My data is housed off site on a remote server. I literally copied the data file down to a local drive and no watermark.

Yeah, while having the software hosted is hypothetically convenient, there seems to be more problems with it than there are benefits.
