Using in-product Form Help for Lacerte

by Intuit Updated 2 months ago

While on the Forms section of Lacerte, you may come across a line that needs additional context, or isn't populated with the expected content. This is where you can take advantage of Form Help.

Form Help provides in-product assistance by opening a webpage with relevant information to help you determine how a line is calculated.
