Freeze returns once filed

LoveTax

Add and ability to completely freeze returns once they are filed, so the numbers do NOT change with each software update, subsequent tax law changes should NOT change returns in PTO after they've already been filed.  
Also freezing returns prevents from accidentally changing numbers on completed and filed returns.
There should be an ability to unfreeze returns in case we need to amend after making a copy, with warnings confirming that we do want to unlock the previously filed tax return.

Have you utilized the lock feature? Take a look at this article here:  How to lock and unlock returns in ProConnect Tax I hope this helps!

@IntuitGabi "You" can not utilized the lock feature. Return is automatically locked after E-file, you can unlock it, but you cannot lock it again. So OP has a valid point.

I love the idea of locking a return - especailly the prior period returns.

Keep me in the loop - I hope it happens!
