The post was a question about TaxAct .. 

which seems to have been deleted.  Here it is from email

I tried to open form 5471 on taxact and it says that it is not supported and will be added in future updates. Would you please help on how are you getting to 5471 on taxact? Thanks much for your help.

I use Turbo Tax and then Manually fill form 5471 and attach it with my tax return
But unfortunately, I have to send a physical copy of the entire tax 1040 and all other pages

I would love to fill 5471 form in Turbo Tax and actually use the electronic filing for my tax return

I still completely agree.  TurboTax costs me a few months a year (not to mention the American taxpayer) because I have to file on paper and then someone at the IRS has to process it on paper.  Currently, I am having to amend some returns, and those must be on paper too because the original return was on paper.

Come on TTax, your competitor has proven it can be done, time to get in the game. (For someone asking about the competitor, the form was updated/became available later in the tax prep season, in March I think.  Also not perfect to have to wait for it.... so TTax would leapfrog the competitor if they could get this right)

It looks like the 5471 is available in a different piece of tax software owned by Intuit, called Lacerte/ ProConnect.  So the code TurboTax needs is already under the Intuit umbrella.   Bring it home TTax!!
