Janitor Bob Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 OK...So I know I am supposed to update daily if not multiple times each day....but I have been busy with non-tax related issues....so just now updating for first time in a week.....It has been "Updating Forms" for 45 minutes and is only at 49%...Is this normal?

The next time you open your program, it's going to appear to "stall" as it's processing those updates. Trust me, leave it be. It needs to process 10000 forms when it opens the program as you just downloaded them. That is probably going to take upwards of 30 minutes. What I would recommend is going to your Preferences and setting up the update to only update specific forms and states, then using the Automatic update. It's an improvement they made this year which I wholeheartedly am in love with. Let me know if you have any problems.

Danielle Former ATX Rep Thanks Danielle...I realized this after I started the update...but figured at this point I should just let it continue and go on to other tasks....fortunately this is not happening on my primary PC....On that one, I will heed your advice.
