ProSeries - 2018 has updated for the extenders?

[Just-Lisa-Now-]

Just had another preparer in town call and says the 2018 program updated for the extenders...Ive already left the office.

My PS Basic 2018 extenders is not calculating MIP yet.  Line 8 is still reserved and grayed out.

I just updated Professional here at home, once it restarted it popped up with client queries for the extenders..I dont have any client files here at home to check though!

I re-updated ( is that a word?) still no MIP calculation in PS Basic.

bummer...looks like lacerte and PTO got updated some time ago, now Pro is updated, Basic cant be too far behind!

@Just-Lisa-Now-    Soooo, I refreshed the update to the update and yes, it is calculating MIP!!

Well the 2018 1040X in Professional has an issue...its got 2019 shown at the top of the form and you have to chose 2019 for it to work properly (if you click the 2018 box the refund meter doesnt reset and the 1040X doesnt pick up the changes)...so its NOT really ready to go.

Same in basic, not working correctly. Form does not auto populate and does not show up in the print list if 2018 is selected.

Im guessing maybe they know its not working right...or there would have been an announcement LOL

Their sure isn't any rush to amend, since the IRS is not processing paper returns yet.

This is what happens when everybody rushes them to fix things 😬

I didnt expect anything until after July 15th, hadnt seen anyone bugging about 2018 lately either. I was surprised when that other preparer called and mentioned that 2018 was updated.
