See How to send an e-Organizer in Lacerte if you need help sending the E-Organizer to the taxpayer.
When the taxpayer e-mails the return back, you'll receive an email from Tax Organizer Administrator [eorganizer@lscsoft.com].
If you aren't receiving e-organizers from your clients, make sure the 'preparer's email address' is correct and check your junk mail folder to make sure the email wasn't sent there.

Double-click the E-Organizer attached to the email and then select Open.
- The client you are importing the E-Organizer for must already exist in the Current Tax Year Lacerte Individual module for the import to be successful. If the client doesn't exist in Current Tax Year Lacerte, proforma the client from the prior year Lacerte.
Double-clicking the attachment should launch the Lacerte Tax program with the clients e-organizer data displayed on the screen. If Lacerte doesn't open, follow the steps in the Save the E-Organizer your hard drive and then import section below.
