Revenue Procedure 2021-14 has very specific instructions on net operating loss elections for 2018, 2019, & 2020 that must be used on the 2020 tax return.  The net operating elections still reference Rev Proc 2020-24.  This is holding up my extended individual tax returns.  When will Lacerte 2020 be updated?

Why wait for Lacerte to add an election? You can add several all on your own.

For the 1040, Screen 46 > Election > Scroll to the bottom and select Other Election > Election Title - Type the section "IRC ...." > Election Text - Type the wording to fit the election. 

If you need another, about mid way of the  left column, click  Add

 


Here's wishing you many Happy Returns

Because I pay a lot of money for the program and expect it to be updated with election options when the law changes.  Lacerte is supposed to be updated throughout the year and this is a big change.
