What is the holdup with Form 8915F-T being available for filing? I need to get my return filed and I've been waiting since January!

Form 8915-F should be available on March 2, 2023. 

 

Please see this Help Article for information and access to the “tool” that shows the availability of forms, including when they will be “Ready for print” and "Ready for E-file".

People here need to have more patience. Don't you know Turbo Tax has a programmer named Steve Wonder? I've been using this form for three years straight, and Turbo tax takes as much time as possible each freaking year. I am convinced it's a deliberate attempt to troll us and see how much customers can take before giving up.

When your state or the IRS have the forms available for publishing they will release them. It is not Turbo Tax that releases forms needed for a return. The date is based on the day specified by the IRS or the state. 
 
State forms availability table for TurboTax individual (personal) tax products.

If the form is available, and you are using the CD/Download, please update the software.

Manually Update TurboTax for Windows Software (Basic, Deluxe, Premier, Home & Business)

The form has been released and is available during preparation.

However, the IRS keeps rejecting my return because the program enters COVID on line C.

The fix?

TO FILE BY MAIL!!!

This is absolutely unacceptable.

I need another solution...

Please try these steps to fix the rejection issue:

 

1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
2. Click on the "Search" on the top and type “1099-R”  
3. Click on “Jump to 1099-R” 
4. If you do not have any 2022 1099-R answer "No" to "Did you get a 1099-R in 2022?" (If you have any other 1099-R then enter all 1099-R and after entering your last 1099-R click "Continue" on the “Review your 1099-R info​​​​​​​” screen)
5. Answer "Yes" to the "Have you ever taken a disaster distribution before 2022?" screen
6. Answer "Yes" to "Did you take a 2020 Qualified Disaster Distribution?"
7. Uncheck the box next to "If this was a Coronavirus-related distribution reported in 2020 check here" and click continue
8. On the "Which disaster affected you in 2020?" screen I selected the blank entry and click "back" 
9. Then recheck the box next to "If this was a Coronavirus-related distribution reported in 2020 check here" and continue.

 

Another option is to delete "Form 8915-F" and "Qualified 2020 Disaster Retirement Distr" and then go back to the retirement section and reenter the information:

 

1. Open or continue your return in TurboTax.
2. In the left menu, select "Tax Tools" and then "Tools".
3. In the pop-up window Tool Center, select "Delete a form".
4. Select "Delete" next to "Form 8915-F" and "Qualified 2020 Disaster Retirement Distr" and follow the instructions.
5. Click on the "Search" on the top and type “1099-R”  
6. Click on “Jump to 1099-R” 
7. If you do not have any 2022 1099-R answer "No" to "Did you get a 1099-R in 2022?" (If you have any other 1099-R then enter all 1099-R and after entering your last 1099-R click "Continue" on the “Review your 1099-R info​​​​​​​” screen)
8. Answer "Yes" to the "Have you ever taken a disaster distribution before 2022?" screen
9. Answer "Yes" to "Did you take a 2020 Qualified Disaster Distribution?"
10. Check the box next to "If this was a Coronavirus-related distribution reported in 2020 check here" and enter your information.
