Intuit navigating program live webinar 11.19.18

[Jim-from-Ohio]

all excited about taking this webinar.. but the instructors are using 2017 program! also claiming, oh, the program is basically the same to 2018.. umm.. no.. the program is not basically the same.. sweeping changes from 2017 to 2018..

@jim or for anyone else who desires....but this is specifically at Jim. I am watching a recorded webinar from 11/16, its called "whats new in proseries Tax year 2018". They are specifically speaking on working from the 1040 to prepare returns. I know you and I messaged re: this exact same thing. They speak on other items as well. I am only 1/2 hour in to 70 mins but I thought I'd let you know. Im not saying this will be easy, i know it'll take a bit to get used to. 

If you've seen already, disregard my message.

Sounds like the value of the webinar was about equal to what you paid for it. 

Did they really honestly, truly say the program was basically the same as 2017?   If so, sounds like they are like me and haven't downloaded it yet.

yep.. it is not even intuit employees. a husband and wife that has a CPA firm in Florida running it. said.. maybe not verbatim but in essence they said.. we are using 2017 program but 2018 is basically the same

[IRonMaN]

Well, both years do say ProSeries, so I guess they are partially correct :confused:

[Jim-from-Ohio]

it's pretty lame.. they are now on schedule C.. which of course  now has the 199A but they cannot show that since they are using old program..

[Jim-from-Ohio]

is anyone else in this webinar besides me that is here

[IRonMaN]

I'm eager to hear on how well the 2017 program flows that through the return.

hahhaa! Funny @IRonMaN ! While I have not d/l'ed current software, I think we all have read enough to accurately state that this years version is not like previous years version.
