[michaelmars]

first i was promised a call back and then an email. I am trying to find out the changes to the program from last year to this year. Anyone get their 2008 program yet care to share this info?

btw, KB"S aren't working today!

I just now got off the phone with tech support. They are aware that KB is inaccessible and are working on that. When I told Gina that I was not able to get to the ATX Communities either, she checked it out and said it was the first they knew of that. She was able to access it, though.

I received my CD on Wednesday and installed it this morning but have not had time to "play" with it yet. Changes for 2008: Transfer K-1 info from 1041, 1065, 1120S directly to K-1 input worksheets in the Big Five return types; added tax agency compliance (blocking changes to certain fields; Enhanced K-1 input Worksheet including ability to delete columns; Can now print W2/W2Cs by state and locality; ability to mask sensitive client data when printing; ability to adjust 4th quarter estimated voucher due dates through the Client Letter Wizard; deletion of lone spaces or lone decimal points in fields (these spaces and decimals caused rejection of efiles); all users who e-file returns are eligible to offer Audit Shield.

These "are just a few of the enhancements" "made to some commonly used forms and program features for 2008".

Great response!

"Enhanced K-1 input Worksheet including ability to delete columns" i fought for this for a long time with both William and Tom Perry, this is a great fix.

ANYTHING NEW IN THE PRINTING? [global defaults, better state attachments, easier collating?]
