Lacerte doesn't support Apple computers using Mac OS. There are a few workarounds or alternatives for this:
- Open the E-Organizer on a PC using Windows operating systems (7, 8, or 10). Because Lacerte and the E-Organizer were designed for the Windows operating system, this is the optimal solution.
- Run Windows emulation software or Parallels Desktop for Mac. The E-Organizer will likely work in these setups, but keep in mind that Windows emulators don't operate exactly like Windows, which means that you may receive unexpected results running the E-Organizer in that type of environment. The E-Organizer isn't tested in Windows emulators or Parallels Desktop for Mac.
- Use a PDF version of the paper Organizer. You can send PDF organizers via email, but this information can't be directly imported into a Lacerte client file and will need to be manually keyed.
- Use Intuit Link. Similar to a PDF version of a paper organizer, you can use Intuit Link to send your organizer questions to your clients, which they can complete on the Intuit Link website. At this time, Intuit Link doesn't offer the ability to import information into Lacerte. The data will need to be manually keyed.
