I agree that if Lacerte can get it right then ProSeries should be able to get it right.

"Bug" may be a harsh word, but in the 40 years that I worked in computer programming if you changed one part of a program and that caused another part of that program to begin functioning incorrectly, that was called a BUG. And, that is what happened here.

Someone just did not think the design through completely, and the QA staff did not test it completely because no one told them to test for that consequence.

I am not trying to be mean here, just honest. This kind of stuff happens all the time in programming, just like we sometimes make mistakes in tax preparation. But ProSeries should be anxious to fix this problem, and quickly. Just like we are anxious to fix the problem it has caused for our clients.
