The grass isn't greener on the other side of the septic tank

For the folks up in arms about Intuit not having forms ready early enough, just a couple of latest tidbits from the Ultra Tax community:

2018 1065: Connecticut -

It's 2/22/19 and we still don't have Connecticut forms to prepare partnership tax returns. Does anyone know when Connecticut will be available? I have contacted the State of Connecticut and were told GoSystem has been approved so why the hold up?

FARMER TAX RETURNS DUE AND ULTRA TAX ISN'T READY TO FILE THEM -

What are other firms doing for farmers whose tax returns are due March 1st? I'm from Minnesota and Ultra Tax is not ready and I cannot file farm returns yet. DO WE NEED TO PURCHASE OTHER TAX SOFTWARE? WHAT IS THOMSON DOING TO HELP US?

It sure doesn't seem any greener over there.

If it's greener, it's only from the algae.

Having too many lakes apparently causes problems with tax software development and update.  Doesn't matter if it's Intuit or Ultra Tax.

Some folks don't realize that, so I thought I would share exhibit A.  
Did I forget to mention that Intuit paid me a bonus for posting that equal to the annual salary I earn here?  :wink:

Looks like CCH just bested UltraTax...

Have not been able to access CCH resources for almost 24 hours as various online products (including Axcess Tax and client portal) were taken offline yesterday with no communication from Wolters Kluwer other than a self-complimentary post on FB and Twitter that they made the decision to take those down "out of an abundance of caution".  There is no ETA for resolution nor are they responding to user comments on FB and Twitter.  Many are now stuck unable to support clients in the midst of the filing season.

Sure looks like there is keen competition for poor services and client communication.

I saw on the NBC evening news last night that Intuit and Block were making friends in high places by hiding FREE filing when folks potentially qualifying for free services were doing Google searches.  FREE always has been a four letter word for the high muckety-mucks at Intuit.

Drake also finally released the 8903 this week.  So I'm guessing that was an IRS hold up.

So, was it just late in development or were they planning on not providing the form until their users complained?
