Intuit\u00ae ProConnect\u2122 Lacerte<\/a>\u00ae has added several new features to the 2016 release, and improved several existing features. Here\u2019s an overview of the major changes you can expect.<\/p>\n

Improved Trial Balance Utility<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2016, we\u2019ve made changes to improve the user experience and performance of the Trial Balance Utility so you can more easily go from books to tax. Now, SmartMap uses machine learning to auto-assign after a single mapping, leading to sub-second response times. There\u2019s now also no need to classify accounts into account types. The Trial Balance Utility is included with your Lacerte license.<\/p>\n

Enhanced In-Product Help<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the newest version of Lacerte, we\u2019re offering Point-of-Need Guidance\u2014on-screen hyperlinks to KnowledgeBase articles that provide detailed descriptions for important input fields to help you answer your questions when and where you have them.<\/p>\n

\"lc2\"<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve also enhanced the \u201cAsk Lacerte\u201d feature to link to KnowledgeBase articles that may help you quickly find answers to your questions and find related input fields. In-product chat access has been improved by placing it on the main toolbar.<\/p>\n

Autofill for Corporate Amended Returns<\/strong><\/p>\n

Also new this year is the ability to autofill corporate amended returns from original return. With this new feature, you can check a box, and Lacerte will import data from the original return. You can then go back to the input screens and enter correct data. The new functionality is intended to help you save time and reduce errors when filing amended returns.<\/p>\n

Support for Dual Monitors<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lacerte now supports dual monitors to enable detail view and form view for the same client to be displayed on two separate monitors, enabling you to review the data before you sync the changes on the detail view to the form view. You can find this functionality in \u201cView\u201d menu under \u201cDetail\/Forms View.\u201d<\/p>\n
