So what is the ruling? Will the ProSeries Basic program include form 172 in the calculations for 2025?

Last year (TY 2024) their were understandable delays in releasing Form 172 regarding NOL in the ProSeries BASIC tax program as it was late coming from the IRS.

I'm seeing (and not liking) messages pop up that in 2025 Form 172 will not be supported in the PS BASIC program.

So my question is: Will Form 172 and it's calculations be included in the PS BASIC program?

If the answer is no, I feel the Tax Preparers who purchase this software are being cheated as we continuing to have around 10 to 15% yearly increases and is now the price of what the PS PRO program used to cost and feel that this is an extra burden on us as preparers to navigate through.. I hope it is being added again this year and will be highly disappointed if not.

Hi @dpatterson1171 Good news—Form 172 is confirmed for TY25 ProSeries Basic. Also, we really appreciate everyone’s patience while we worked through this!

Thanks Jim, I know that it is not in the forms for BASIC but was not sure if that could still be under construction. I have a lot of rentals with my clients and since this was there last year I feel cheated if it is being removed and making us do the work. That is what we pay for using high end software.

So in you opinion then, it will not be part of BASIC this year? Looking for a yes / no answer from the development team.

Based on my experience and opinion it won't be part of Basic.. but maybe @Kathi_at_Intuit may know for sure.

Where is Form 172? You posted that it will be supported, but it is not ready and I need it now. Not in a few weeks or months.

It's nightmare with Intuit. I cannot submit 1040 with 172 form. Today is March 4th, 2026. Application gives an error that the form is not final. But when I go to Intuit site it says 172 is ready for e-file??????

Yes. Basic is has incorporated Form 172. I already did a couple tax returns & they were processed & accepted. What I noticed was Intuit took longer to accept & transfer to IRS. IRS processed it immediately. Everything is cool. Thank God.
