Update 1/6/2022: The Puerto Rico practice exercises are now updated and available under Section 6 of the Practice Lab.
Update 12/29/2021: Practice Exercises 1-7, International, and Military are now updated using the current 2021 Practice Lab calculations available in the application to date. This time of year both the IRS and State Departments are continually releasing and finalizing forms, schedules, and instructions to software vendors. Regular updates will be implemented into the software as information is released/provided to software vendors. The Puerto Rico practice exercises will be updated by end of week next week.
To help set expectations in the field, the practice exercises under Section 6 of the Practice Lab will be updated to 2021 closer to the end of December. This article will be updated when 2021 Practice Exercises are live in the Practice Lab. We want to provide extra time for additional updates to be applied to the 2021 software before updating the exercises. This time of year both the IRS and State Departments are continually releasing and finalizing forms, schedules, and instructions to software vendors, not to mention the many changes impacting 2021 returns from the American Rescue Plan and Consolidated Appropriations Act. Regular updates will be implemented into the software as information is released/provided to software vendors.
At this time, the practice exercises are still based on the 2020 application.
