Practice Lab 2023 is scheduled to be released/available on Tuesday, November 7th. Please keep in mind that the Practice Lab will be updated twice a week as we receive finalized forms and instructions from the IRS. With that, we ask volunteers to not report calculation issues to support.
With the Practice Lab 2023 release, you will have access to PL 2023 and PL 2022.
When you log in to your Production Sites, you will see the following TaxSlayer 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2018. You do not have the ability to create new returns in 2023, but you can still prepare returns in all of the available prior years. You will be able to electronically file 2022, 2021 and 2020 until the IRS shuts down their MeF system on November 18th at 11:59pm ET.
States will not be available in Practice Lab 2023 until closer to the filing season in either late December or early January. You can use PL 2022 to have your volunteers train or practice with state returns.
