No problem.  I guess due to the stress of trying to get the fiduciary tax returns filed by the 09/30/2020 deadline, I was too sensitive to the comment at the end of the post.  Also, I apologize for my ignorance.  I thought questions regarding the product are answered by the intuit staff and tax questions are answered by the CPA community.  This morning I learned differently.  It appears I have offended the entire community of volunteers and for that, I sincerely apologize.     

I do not have an issue with George.  I appreciate his help.  George, thank you for all your help.  I also do not have an issue if information provided is not correct.  I can only imagine how complicated tax software can be and having to deal with all the different taxing authorities.  I even do not have an issue with holding online for two hours.  I understand.  My issue is with the person (not George) that lectured me on my grammar.  I believe using the word "file" was appropriate.  Lacerte can only "file" electronic returns and cannot "file" paper returns.  If I wanted to know if Lacerte is able to process a paper return, I would have asked, "Is Lacerte able to "process" Form IT541?"  This is not the first time I have been lectured by someone providing answers to questions.        

Words do matter.  That is why I asked if Lacerte files the LA Form IT-541.  If a paper return was being filed, I would not be asking Lacerte if they file a particular form.  Lacerte cannot file a paper return.  Lacerte can only file electronic returns.  Duh.  I think it is time I change software providers.

My system is up dated to the latest version.  When I try to e-file the return, diagnostics states the LA Form IT-541 return cannot be e-filed at this time.  Lacerte systems specialist says Lacerte cannot e-file LA Form IT-541 but probably will be able to in the future.  I believe the system specialist is right since I cannot get passed the e-file validation process.
