Addressing the Floating Point Error in Lacerte
by Intuit• Updated 4 months ago
In Lacerte, you may see an error when trying to select a custom filter after you've already deleted a preparer.
To correct the preparer selection and resolve the error message:
- From the Settings menu, select Options.
- Select the Display tab.
- Expand the Client Information section using the + icon.
- Within the expanded list, find and add Preparer to the list of display columns by selecting it and then clicking the > icon.

- Some Preparers may have no number next to their name.
- Open the files that have no number and change the Preparer in Screen 1 to someone else.
- Change the Preparer in Screen 1 back to the Preparer that had the issue.
- The Preparer Column in the Client List should show a number next to the Preparer now.
- Repeat steps 3 -6 for each client that has a preparer with no number in the Preparer Column.
