There seem to be a few questions on the CA S corp return that Lacerte does not require/diagnostic remind us to complete. Why?
Ex. Page 1, A2

My best guess is that they're trying to find the balance of not burying us in a bunch of diagnostics and just presuming it's safe to default to No or N/A answers on most of these that might not regularly come up for most S-Corps. It's a chance to show our value as preparers and why you shouldn't do S-Corp returns on TurboTax.

I'm good with N/A or No in most conditions. I'm more concerned with nothing. For example, Question S is not automatically answered either way.
If Lacerte supports that form, it should be answered automatically. If not, why not a diagnostic to remind us?

You aren't wrong here. There should be a default answer. You could try calling support to point it out as a programming flaw that should be fixed, but I don't know what your odds of success will be.

Given the situation we are dealing with, with Form 7203, I'd say zero.
Maybe I'll put it in the suggestions list next year.
