Do you think they post banners highlighted in yellow just to make them pretty?  Read them or look at the other 150 posts that refer to the same question and just may have an answer to your question.  It is not a crime to research this site to see if your question has been asked and answered before.  If you really have a concern call Intuit.  Non of your peers here have a hotline to the programming department and frankly are getting frustrated answering the same question over and over and over, but God bless them, they have been more patient than most of us, and often times will offer a link to an answer.  Just do some research if your question needs a fast answer.


I never took the question off which I posted immediately after the announcement.  Why do you need to be rude to me.  I did research and could not find an answer so I posted it.  I can't believe how people feel a need to be nasty...it was a good question!

OMG..

Do you REALLY think the software can be updated for an announcement that JUST came out from the IRS an hour ago.

Don't bother...I don't think anyone can build one that can keep up.

@tax5 

No one is being *mean* to you.  You posted a question within in HOURS of a law being passed asking when the software would be updated.  That is unreasonable.

Us volunteers spend HOURS filtering thru these threads, trying to help fellow tax pros with issues.

The continual posting of the same thing over, over, and over by folks drains our resources (and patience).  This forum  (NEW & IMPROVED... snort) doesn't lend itself to easily to viewing posts that aren't on the first page.

When the first page is filled with the same whining about the software not being updated, it limits our effectiveness.

And since WE are basically all the support available to Intuit software users, I suppose we allowed to be just a bit impatient with the whining.

It would have been nice to just get an answer that the software had not been updated yet and there was no work around instead of lecturing me.  I had a client call and couldn't find an answer to my question so I was led to this blog.  I did not intend to abuse the programmers and the response I got was trying to make me feel guilty for asking.

No one was trying to make you feel guilty for asking, people are just tired of answering the same question countless times when a little detective work would find the answer faster than waiting for a peer tax preparer to take the time to read all of the posts and answer the same question for the 47th time.  It is tax season and their time is valuable as well.  The link I  shared listed several asked and answered same type of questions.  There is no crime in telling a client that I will need to call you back on that one.  We are in uncharted water when the IRS did not initiate this one, the Secretary of the Treasury and Congress started this one so that is the longest way to have something get enacted for the IRS and all of the Software providers.  I can only imagine having programmers at the IRS and Intuit not being able to collaborate in the same room to get programming done efficiently.
