Partnership Edition release 2011.01b now available.

Initial installation for the year must be from the disk we send you at the beginning of the tax season. You can therefore update to Partnership release 2011.01b on-line only if you have already installed an earlier release for the 2011 filing season (2011.01 or 2011.01a).


TIP: Before executing any downloads, exit Tax Preparer by closing the Tax Preparer Control Panel. If you do not, you will encounter an error message indicating that HSPrnTax.EXE is being used by another process, and the update will not be completed.


The downloads on this page are only for Partnership Edition for Form 1065 returns. Downloads for Tax Preparer for Form 1040 returns are found on the Main Downloads page. Downloads for the California Supplement for Form 540 returns are found on the California Downloads page.
