Partnership closed on march 31, 2011 - How can I report the final return on Lacerte? I filed the 2010 return so how can I import the information on the final return ?

You can copy and rename the file in the 2010 program. You will need to delete, re-enter data as appropriate. You will not have a pro forma return. You will need to enter short year dates of Jan 1, 2011- March 2011 closing date.

Susan is correct. When I copied and renamed, I always worked on the original file to avoid having to pay REP for each one. Original is client XXXX. I copy that to Client XXXX-10 and keep that as the 2010 copy. When finished I copy the 2011 to Client XXXX-11. If I later need to review or amend, you can simply rename the appropriate copy to Client XXXX and process.

This thread has some pertinent info that may help you.

The water from the pressure wash must have been too hot ---------- that post appears to have shrunk from its original size.
