Does last year's fee (2020) transfer over to 2021? It is the most important fee amount, but it isn't transferring this year.

This was brought up a few weeks ago, it seems that the 2019 fees column will show the 2020 fees and the 2018 fees will show the 2019 fees, etc.  they forgot to update the descriptions in HB, but the fee amounts are supposed to be correct.  It will be fixed in a future update.

Home base allows for many columns (data fields).  Some say 2016, 2017, 2018 fee.  The 2020 amount (last year's) fee did not transfer over, that I can see.  I use that amount to know if the tax return was prepared for that client last year.  Where is it?  No amount shows up in "Last year's fee" either.

Since the program isn't truly ready for preparing taxes maybe it will be fixed in a future update.

I don't know about Professional or the 2021 program, but in the 2020 Basic program the "prior year" fee was totally wrong.  It wouldn't surprise me if it is similarly messed up this year.

Where is the 2020 fee input on 2020, and where do you want it to transfer to in 2021?

FYI, I like the fees to appear on the Client Status sheet each year, and the 3 prior years' fees appear in the middle, before the Current Year Notes section; HOWEVER, the 2020 fee will NOT carryover to 2021 unless you have the fee input on the invoice.

If it is merely input in the middle ON THE STATUS sheet in 2020, it WILL NOT TRANSFER to the 2021 Status sheet.

Just Lisa nailed it.  I went back over my fees over the last three years.  The fees do match up with my QuickBooks amounts, it's the labels that don't.  That isn't such a big deal.  I just don't know why every year there has to be an issue with transferring clients.  I always wait until the last minute to create my Homebase for the new year, because there is always a glitch discovered AFTER I start processing returns.  By then it is too late to go back and re-transfer them to the new year.  I wish they would get their act together with this.
