TX Corporation e-filing is not available yet. We will get it developed once agency posts the EF package.

Thank you for a reply.  ProSeries does support Texas franchise tax e-filing.  I tried to e-file a 2021 return from the 2020 software today and received  the message "Electronic Filing for 2020 Texas Corporation is not yet available".  I thought I saw somewhere it would be available 2/22/21.  Through research, I am not able to find any dates or assistance.

At first the Efile release date was 2/19, then it got moved to 2/26 and now it is saying 3/11. It's bad every year but this is just ridiculous. Is this a State issue or a ProSeries issue? I need to know who to complain to. Because the State Webfile system is up and running no problem, but we pay a lot of money every year to use ProSeries and keep the information in one place.

I am also waiting on the filing of the Texas Franchise Return. But I have a bigger issue now.  I filed an Ohio State return with a School District Return with a refund of $844.00. There was no mention of it on the e-file screen.  I called Lacerte and the expert told me to go ahead and file, it might not show up on the e-file screen.  This made me nervous because Ohio is a piggyback state. The filing instructions said it was a direct deposit and it would go into their back account. (One of my checks for accuracy.) The preparers e-file directions echoed the same.  However, when I printed out the confirmation letter there was no mention (again) of the school district being filed.  I called Lacerte again, and spoke to another expert, that told me she didn't know why it didn't e-file, but it didn't. I am contacting our rep at Lacerte to see if I can have a solution.  We also pay GREAT money to have superior service and I believe Lacerte should fix the issue and file the School District Return.

I really appreciate the link you provided, however, it doesn't include TX.  I appreciate the date you provided as well, I was not getting a date, but a link to nowhere.

thanks
