When will Alabama be updated? Why can we not print forms for Alabama but other software companies are not having that issue?

An update has just been released that allows you to print the AL-8453. E-File is availble for Alabama so you should now be able to e-file the returns. 

To install the new Update:

  1. Go to the Update Menu and choose Update Installed Products

For assistance printing just the signature form see the instructions in the following article on printing selected forms:

We are activity working with the state to ensure we get print finalization as soon as possible. This should not impact your ability to e-file.  Currently the date is scheduled for 02/21. Any changes to the Release Dates are posted here: https://accountants.intuit.com/tax/proseries/resources/release-dates/index-18.jsp

This is so very frustrating! The allowable miscellaneous deductions will not transfer to Alabama except for the tax prep fee AND I cannot print my client a copy of their tax return. Pro series had issues last year and I decided to stay with them, but it’s about time to start shopping for another software!!!

Alabama Update on 2/7/2019: We are aware that some Alabama forms that are still pending approval from the state could not be printed from the ProSeries program. An Alabama update was released yesterday that will enable the printing of all forms and returns.
If any forms are still pending approval, they will print with an “E-File Only” watermark.
As those forms are approved, the watermark will be removed.

Drake... No problems. Taxwise .., No problems. I think it’s time ALL Proseries admit we are IDIOTS for putting up with the crap Proseries puts us through every year. PLUS. They are way overpriced for the quality of the product and support they provide. Two hour wait times on Technical Support. They keep hawking this Acvountants Community page to resolve problems. I’ve not resolved a single problem
Here. It’s just a place for all of us to
Piss and moan to one another
