This release continues the improvement of date handling on data entry. Note that Release 21.2.0.3 was not broadly released; it contained updates requested by certain users.
This release incorporates further improvements to date handling and corrects the rate for Montana (see the instructions for line 17 of the 2020 version of Form CIT-UT [This form was later revised and move by the state—see below]). For the major changes in Instant Interest the 2nd quarter, see the release notes for version 21.2.0.0.
Note: The referenced version of Form CIT-UT was in error. The correct rate is 6.25%. Release 21.3.0.0 reverts this error base on the “Late Fees, Interest, and Penalties” updated by the state of Montana on May 13, 2021.
