Not an answer to this question specifically, just an editorial comment on a number of questions on the unemployment subject asked in the last week.

If practitioners in individual states cant find out the rules for 1 or 2 states, why is Proseries expected to (in a week) know what each of 40some states is thinking, and also had time to program it even if they could discern each state's intention?

I think some expectations of software providers are close to unreasonable, with Congress unprecidented mid March retroactive tax law changes.

See here on IL:

Please call Pritzer's office and tell him to get his Dept of Revenue's act together. It isn't that hard, especially since they have known it was coming for over two weeks and it has been official for 11 days already.

This is not a ProSeries matter at this time, at least with respect to IL.

I think his name is Pritzker, and when I lived in Illinois it was the Legislature, not the governor, that wrote tax laws.

Well, actually, it was the mayor of Chicago who wrote tax laws but the Legislature had to vote on them. The governor did have to sign them, if he wasn't yet in jail.
