709 release date?
Was hoping the 709 would be available with the 3/3/11 download, but no luck. (: Is there an anticipated release date when we'll have the form ready?

Keep checking the IRS site. Sometime after they get their act together .....
Per LacerteGuru "Probably in next weeks release" http://community.intuit.com/po...
Now it is 3/18 and still no 709 available? What seems to be the hold up?
When will it be available?
If Lacerte can get it out a week after IRS releases it, I think that's pretty good.
My sale rep just called me and said it is going to be in tomorrow's update.
Major releases are generally on Thursdays, so the week is not up YET!
4/14/2011 Go to Lacerte Updates and the 709 is there.Even though I had Updates "enabled" on my options, I did not have the 709 update until the Help guy said the 709 was already out!
The update does not fix the error with Schedule B for prior gifts.
When you enter the gift on screen 9.1 and 9.2 the amounts look correct in the input but do not carry forward correctly on the government forms.
