What is in the update?

I am stealing this suggestion from @Strongsilence-CPA who posted https://intuit.me/2O00ZmP

Please be transparent and describe what is updated.  It is quite unsettling to not know what is updated. Is it a fix, a change due to a new law, something minor, significant, planned long ago or new, etc?  So many questions unanswered - especially in March - leaves me in the dark and makes me feel less than confident in my returns. 

A simple phrase "Fixed errors or last update"  "Addresses latest IRS changes" "Modifies due date", etc would be very, very helpful.

Yes Yes YES   ..... I too would like to see this as a feature for the updates.

There used to be an easy way to find it in the ProSeries folder on your drive (haven't had time to search, but it used to be obviously named, like updates!)  Now I think you have to go to the website, find the schedule of update releases, click on the latest to see what was updated.

Thanks for the idea. We are changing the status to "Open for voting" since it is no longer considered "New". If you have any questions on the life cycle of an idea, check out our Idea Getting Started Guide for more information.

This is SERIOUSLY needed! We have no idea what is being updated and whether it affects returns that we have already prepared. It is embarrassing and unprofessional for a client and/or a government agency to be the ones to tell us that there was an error on the return. We need this information so that we may be timely in advising our client.  They are otherwise going to expect us to pay the penalties for not preparing the return correctly and/or for not having advised them of the error as soon as possible.
