Specifically says it's a federal form available to file 3/17/2022. I use a service for household payroll and can already access all tax docs. I don't understand what we're waiting on.
Schedule H-T is Schedule H. The form is in the software, but it has not been finalized for filing. You are waiting for it to be finalized.
TurboTax has two copies of Schedule H because, on a joint tax return, it makes a difference who the EIN was issued to. To distinguish the two copies, TurboTax calls them Schedule H-T for the taxpayer and Schedule H-S for the spouse. If you are not filing jointly TurboTax uses Schedule H-T. If you are filing jointly TurboTax asks who is the employer. If the EIN was issued to the person listed first on the return, or it was issued jointly, it uses Schedule H-T. If the EIN was issued to the person listed second on the return it uses Schedule H-S.

I'm getting the same message for a few forms (Sched H, 8911, 6251). They don't appear in the drafts section of irs.gov and seem to be all finalized as of January 2022. So is the finalization waiting on the IRS or is it TurboTax that needs more time to finalize how it implements these forms?
@rollacorolla It is waiting for TurboTax to implement and test the forms, and then for the IRS to approve the TurboTax implementation. You can check the expected availability date of federal forms at the following link.
