1/3/2022 – Roughly twenty one (21) State Returns are now live! Please note the information posted below when reviewing the initial state application release. The remaining states will be released for preparation over the next couple of weeks.

Note: Initial load times may be slower than normal, but this will subside as additional state returns are created, etc.

It is important to keep in mind when accessing 2021 state returns as they become available, some states may have been delayed (and are still experiencing delays) in releasing final 2021 forms/instructions. As you prepare 2021 state returns in the Practice Lab, you may still see 2020 calculations and/or PDF forms. Customer Service will not be creating issues for these items until the states are closer to finalization.  As information continues to be released and finalized by the states, the Practice Lab will be updated to reflect the most recent information available.
