Why has my return (with Form 8396) said I could file on 2/3/22 for the last 2 weeks and now on 2/3, it says I can't file until 2/17/22?

[Critter-3]

The 8936 is now ready but what else is listed in the REVIEW tab that is not ? 

[tjohn84]

It says this:

Federal Forms                                       Available to File

Form 8396                

Mortgage Interest Credit                         2/17/2022

Form 8396 is for the Interest Credit.

[DaveF1006]

it depends. To clarify, this Turbo Tax link states that this is available 12/10.

[tjohn84]

Right, but like I said, as recently as yesterday it still said 2/3 (on that link included) and now it has switched.

[Critter-3]

The 8936 is ready not ... but the 8396 is not ...  see the chart here ... dates always subject to change...

Why is there a delay for

this form? 

[alxs00]

I have never had this problem and this year the date keeps getting pushed back. My now show it will be available on 03/03/2022. I don't understand why there is an issue with this form. 

[tjohn84]

Same.  I have had the credit for 9 years now and always file either end of January or beginning of February and have never had any issues until this year.

[Missymarie]

When I enTer my mcc information it does not change my refund amount. Do I still have to file it? 

[Critter-3]

Credits are optional and not required.

In this public forum, we are provided with form availability information but not an explanation as to why the form is not available or why the date has changed. For more specific information about the form's status, it would be necessary to contact Customer Support.

What is the TurboTax phone number?

This is so frustrating. First it said it would be available on 2/10.......... now its saying 3/3. Is this only for turbo tax and not other tax preparation softwares?

[mrl1983]

I wanted to know the same thing. There’s really not an explanation for why it is not available. Like others have said, it previously showed it would be available on 2/10 and then the date switched to 3/3 when checking on it today. Seems like a long time to wait. It has never been like this in years past. Furthermore, the form is on the IRS website so why is it not available to be used to file with Turbo Tax. It would be nice to get a clear cut answer and not just a general link that provides different dates forms are available as per Turbo Tax. What’s the hold up with this form. Please clarify and give a definitive answer.

I have the same issue, I already paid and now I'm stuck.
