Is Lacerte EFAST2 approved software?
Yes, Lacerte will support the new EFAST2 system. The United States Department of Labor is in the process of approving software and software vendors for the EFAST2 system. A current list of approved vendors can be found at http://www.efast.dol.gov/softw… In TY2009 there will be a new system called Efast2 in place for e-Filing 5500 benefit plan returns. More information can be found at this link: http://us.select.mercer.com/bl… Lacerte 5500 Efile Mandates: TY’09 Lacerte Tax will be fully compliant with the Department of Labor’s recent e-file mandate for the 5500 Benefit tax module including the EFAST2 PIN signature requirement between the preparer and the sponsor of the Benefit plan. The TY’09 Lacerte 5500 Benefit tax module does not yet include the ability to e-file returns. The e-file portion of the 5500 Benefit tax module including support for the EFAST2 PIN is scheduled to be available by the end of March in advance of the filing deadline for 5500 returns, which is July 31, 2010.
