Are the extenders in the 2019 program yet?

[Memik]

Have the retroactive changes been done to the 2018 program? I have a retroactive residential energy credit and it still says that it is not available.

The IRS has got a bigger fish to fry at this moment.

And it appears they are frying lutefisk when everybody knows you need to boil it.

Still not available, I know there was a yellow banner alert about this not long ago....yes, in the 2018 program on 3/26 they issued an alert about the extenders...did you miss it?   

You can click the red Alert icon on the 2018 toolbar to see the previous alerts.

Thank you for this, and, yes, I did miss this.

And especially thanks for a real answer without all the fish schtix.

Anyone hear of an update to this topic?  I have many clients that need amending for 2018 and are getting rather tired of my answer that I am waiting on my software...

I think 2018 is updated for this now, you may need to use REFRESH updates, rather than the regular Update....I dont think IRS is staffed for processing mailed in returns yet though, so Im not sure if its a great time to mail in an amendment.

Thanks Lisa -

I did the refresh on the updates and a whole lot of queries popped up so I am assuming I have the updates.  I agree about mailing the 1040X now especially after hearing they have trailers of unopened mail but at least I can make the calculations and start making decisions with clients whether or not to amend and have carryovers to their 2019 returns carryover correctly...It would have been nice if ProSeries had done an Alert about this!
