Strange

[Lynn EA USTCP in Louisiana]

I just had two very strange experiences in 2012.

1 - I went to go into my own tax return, in the 2012 system. When it opened the only item was the federal tax return cover sheet. I deleted the return, repeated the rollover process. Same strange occurrence. Once again deleted my return from 2012. Then I went into 2011 and got a message that forms in my return were later than forms in the 2011 program, viewed the log and it was blank. But I did a form update anyway. (Now I update the 2011, still, on a daily basis just in case.) Then opened my return in 2011, saved it and closed it. Then I went back to 2012, rolled over my own return, opened it and voila' all forms and schedules were there.

2 - Went into an 1120S return, to update the fixed assets in preparation for the personal property tax report. None of the assets were there. No big deal for me to re-enter them as there were less than 10; but I would have been very annoyed otherwise. Maybe I should have deleted the return, gone back into 2011 (as I did for my own return), etc.

Wonder if anyone else is having similar strange occurrences.

1. The rollover issue from 2011 still has bugs. Your process is the right one, at least for now.

2. If the program crashes when closing, saving, etc., the latest input information since the last autosave may be lost. I have started clicking save after every change and just before I close the return.
