12.5 -- What is in it?

The target date for the 12.5 update is Monday, January 28th.

This list will grow over the next few days. As I see items marked as completed and ready for testing, I will add them to this list. This is not an all inclusive list of defects, but a great resource for you to use. It is broken down into functional areas of the application. The numbers at the end are for my reference.

Rollover

Corrected a problem where the cell name trying to be rolled was missing, which was causing the application to crash. The cell name is Information added to the form in 2012 in preparation for 2013 rollover. The code was looking for the cell in the prior year and causing a crash.

Modified the timing between the application and the rollover service: extended the amount of time the application is waiting for the rollover service to start. We have also changed the messaging if this happens after 12.5 that will allow you to link to a knowledge base article that describes how to manually start the rollover service.

Client Letter

State Client Letter - Modifying the "Mail to" section now allows the user to enter multiple characters (143804)

Return Manager

Corrected display issues when deleting returns. The return counter will reflect the accurate number of returns after the deletion process. The remaining returns that were not cosmetically displaying in the list now remain visible. (133921)

Billing

Resolved the issue where the billing invoice was not calculating until discarded and added back to the return. (146707)

Billing invoice can now be added from the Forms menu without creating an exception error (146703)

Printing

Custom, text, or itemized list will now print with the tax return (145419)

Performance

Improvements for updating forms and opening returns on a networked environment (146708)
