Please simplify entity extensions

Preparing 990 and 990t extensions forms 8868, and forms 8879 te. I have to check this and uncheck that and go here and go back there just to get it to work. Why is filing an extension a headache? It should be simple and fast.

"It should be simple and fast" 

It should be, but not when Intuit is involved in the process.  😀

I started looking at CCH ProSystem FX. Not that I want to switch but I'm having more and more complicated returns and multi-state entity returns that ProSeries handles very poorly.

The complaints I see are as numerous for CCH as they are for Intuit. And their product costs a lot more.

So I've decided to take a computer class and write my own tax software. Can't be hard, scan in every form and add a calculation for certain lines.  Not sure if I'll use Basic, Fortran or Cobalt. When I started we used punch cards on an IBM Punch Card 029.

@dascpa I think the problem is everywhere. This is what happens in a society that ridicules young people who hang out in libraries.
