Lacerte shutdown efile

[GARY10]

Why did Lacerte not inform us of the date they stopped e-filing.   Terrible, I was waiting for some permission until that date and now can't efile .  I would have not waited

Hi @GARY10 Thanks for sharing your experience in the Community!

Lacerte did send an in-product alert on 11/21/2025 notifying users of the e-file shutdown. In addition, there have been Community banner notifications posted to help raise awareness of the stop date.

For future reference, this support article is a helpful one to bookmark, as it outlines the official timelines each year:
E-file start and stop dates for federal returns

We also heard feedback like yours and, as a result, have plans to add an additional in-product alert next year to help make these deadlines even more visible. We appreciate you taking the time to raise this concern as it helps us improve how we communicate important updates going forward.
