I'm having a hell of a time getting Lacerte to even remotely accurately calculate the estimated tax penalty. Yes, I am filling in required information, such as filing date, etc. The estimates are consistently far below what the revenue agencies assess and I confirm through other sources.
Interest rates are properly downloaded. Any insight on how to correct this? Haven't bothered contacting Lacerte, yet, but mat need to since it seriously impacts tax planning and makes me look bad that the software cannot calculate a remotely close penalty.
