Drake Software cannot handle a short tax year, such as a final year for a partnership or corporation. I had one of each that dissolved, one 10/31 and one 11/30. Since I had the new software for 2006, instead of using 2005 forms, just used the 2006 and put in the short year. Information from one form such as the 4797 doesn't carry to the 1065 or 1120. Drake says they can't handle and can't fix. So I ran the return without the short tax year dates at the top of the 1065/1120 form, it calculated correctly, and then I handwrote in the correct tax year dates.
