Sorry, you can't fix it.  It is a 'bug' that they know about.  Whether or not they eventually fix it is another question.

2018 ProSeries Professional double spaces the client bill. the answer this had been asked many times doesn't tell me how to correct the issue?

Because the only fix will be an update that hasn't happened yet.

"...the answer this had been asked many times doesn't tell me how to correct the issue?"
But it does tell you to go do a search, so that us volunteers don't have to answer the same question a bazillion times.

Slip one of the programmers $100,000 and they might sneak in a fix, otherwise you are stuck waiting.  Since this is cosmetic, I think it is put on the bottom of their list.  They tend to put heart and lung transplants on the top of the list and plastic surgery is left for last.  If the look is too ungodly to use, consider using another method to prepare bills, whether that means using an accounting software, Excel or just a word processing software.

I agree.  But my billing just states IRS and State totals, no line by line or form by form billing.  I found it takes 5% of my time figuring out how much to bill for each form or item.  So I went with the add $5 or 5% each year billing method.  Nobody knows what they are billed for that way and i have no complaints.

Yeah, I don't bill by form either.  One total is what they get.  Nobody really cares that their schedule B costs them $1.25 more than their schedule A or vise versa.

I've considered going to a forms based invoice, I used to early in my career, but I do as you do and give an overall price. I may still go to forms billing down the road.....

I bill by the form just because I'm too lazy to keep track of my time.   :smile:

So I let the program come up with a price, then I'll add or subtract to compensate for the PITA factor.

"then I'll add or subtract to compensate for the PITA factor"

Client or Intuit PITA factor? :smirk:

I already add the Intuit PITA factor into the price of the form.  :smile::smile:

@Marc.TaxMan   Yes, but then I would need to remember to turn that on and off, which doesn't happen.

But Intuit then sends that time in to the IRS with the e-filed return :smiley::smiley:
