Improving workflow efficiencies remains a strong focus for Intuit's Lacerte Software, whose clients are looking for more data import, e-file capabilities and online assistance and alerts. Lacerte introduced K-1 inputs two years ago, but Intuit is working to make the process more complete, including transferring state-related information from business to individual returns, says Jorge Olavarrieta, senior product manager for Lacerte. The software also shows prior-year amounts in key entry screens during current-year input, a feature meant to boost productivity and save time for Lacerte's roughly 40,000 customers, who Olavarrieta describes as primarily full-service firms looking for ways to either reduce their workload or do more work in less time in order to grow their practices.
