1/3/2020 – The alignment and update to 2019 forms issue has been resolved. If you continue to see the below screen, clear your cache and refresh your screen.


We are in the process of updating the 1040 view to accommodate the changes to the 1040 pages and schedules.  This morning’s delivery left the feature with a combination of a 2018 form background and a 2019 entry layout.  We have a high priority ticket in to get this resolved.  Page 4 of the 1040 view displays correctly.
