Janitor Bob Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 I'm almost afraid to try it....every update with ATX is like Russian roulette.....I skipped 12.8 because of the hassles.....not sure if I even want to try 12.9 until I hear from others that have no choice. 1 Quote
joanmcq Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 You don't need 12.9 unless 12.8 is causing you to crash, etc. 12.8 has been fine for me, so I don't need 12.9. So far. Just make sure you download & save 12.8 from the website with ATX closed, run, reboot computer, open the program. Quote
grandmabee Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Posted February 17, 2013 So it doesn't correct anything else like payers manager not working now etc. Quote

joanmcq Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 Really? Maybe I should download it. Except Kimmi on the official site said the changes in 12.9 will be incorporated into 12.10, so there's no real hurry. Quote

joanmcq Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 I think Tuesday. I can't find the post where Kimmi answered me. It's buried in the complaints or the 'Wow, my program finally works!' posts. Quote
gfizer Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 Installed 12.9 and it has fixed both of the problems 12.8 caused for me. Payer manager is now working correctly and the one 4562 return that crashed the software everytime I tried to open it opened and allowed me to create and submit the efile. I am hopeful that ATX is on the right track....finally. Quote
North Idaho Rich Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 All drop down menus seem to work properly now. After the slow initial open after the update the program seems much better. My completed returns are still marked complete! Wish they would make some of the mouse targets such as closing a return or efile creation bigger. Old eyes or bad aim... 1 Quote
Randall Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 I saw a quirk in the print report. I sorted incomplete returns by created date. The correct dates showed up on screen, but when I printed the report, all returns listed the same date, the first date listed. Maybe 12.9 will correct that. I'll try. Quote

It's buried in the complaints or the 'Wow, my program finally works!' posts. I saw that post too. As long as things are going OK for me, I will be waiting for the 10 rather than take a chance on 9 messing things up. Quote
Janitor Bob Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 Unless required, I'm not sure I will update again until end of Feb when all of my "hurry, I want my refund yesterday" clients are done.....My 12.7 is functioning......lots of annoying issues with client letters, slowness, and random crashing.....but at least it is functional. I cannot risk down-time at this point in the season. Quote
Eli Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 I installed the 12.9 & it fixed the problem with the payer manager & the drop down on the dependents field. Eli Quote

Bite my tongue if I am giving you the wrong advice. Quote

ETax847 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Posted February 18, 2013 I can't efile returns with Sch E on version 12.7, do I need to download one of these new updates? And why doesn't the software update this with the rest of the forms? Quote
