        • Expand the idea of using your client notes (as a statement) that will be e-filed to the Goverment that normally need to be mailed in.

          Since the client notes (statement) are e-filed with the return. Using this area to send a brokerage statement or other forms normally mailed separately would be a time saver. The document could be scanned then copied and pasted into client notes to be e-filed along with the return. Lacerte would need to make sure this is acceptable for IRS purposes.

          • allow a xlsx to be recognized for import

            Most clients who have collected data to be used in a tax profit/loss use xlsx from a win7 computer. Instead of inputting directly, I must first change to an xls in order for Lacerte to recognize the worksheet as an for import to the program.

            • automatically instruct client about Web Pay for California

              If a client exceeds the threshold for the Web Pay requirement it should automatically instruct the client to do so in the letter instead of coming up as a diagnostic and requiring an additional entry to force the instructions.

              • Create the option for different fonts for e-organizer-entered information vs. pro-forma-entered information.

                Currently, pro-forma inputs can have a different font color than user-entered information, but information from the e-organizer has the same font color as the pro-forma inputs. The review process would be more efficient if the information imported from the e-organizer could be displayed in a third font color.

                    • 9465

                      E-file acknowledgement letter should mention that a 9465 was filed with the Service and that it is subject to Service approval. Currently, the acknowledgement only says that there is a balance due of $xxxxx and that it should be paid as soon as possible.

                        • Consistent pdf titles for activity report and acceptance letters

                          When the pdf title for these documents comes up, for the activity report it comes up "2011 e-file Activity Report.pdf" and I have to insert th client number each time like so "2011 e-file Activity Report 11111.pdf". For the e-file acceptance letter, the pdf title comes up "E-file Acceptance Letter 11111.pdf" and I have to type in the year like so
                          "2011 E-file Acceptance Letter 11111.pdf" Any way of getting both of these to come up with both the client number and the year in each title? I use My Documents, not DMS.

                          Any way of getting both of these… more

                          • Assign entries to state

                            Do not let the program automatically change the state in the "Assign entries to". If you input a w-2 data from another state the software changes the " Assign entries to" to that state. If you then forget to change it back to your home state and go input interest / dividend income they will all be coded with the incorrect state. The assignment should only be allowed to be changed manually by the user.
