Form 7202-T

I know that as of right now the form has not be finalized which is why it says Available to File by Mail on 01/28/2021... But it says Cannot e-file. Is this going to change once the form has been finalized or will we be forced to File by Mail in order to get this credit. I don't think I want to wait 4 months or more to get my taxes back for just that one credit.

The 7202 will be mail file only.

Although not recommended, you can efile without the credit then amend later and mail in the amended return. You will need to decide what is best for you.

Why Is it not recommended to amend? I would like to e-file my taxes and send in an amendment for my 7202-T credit.

@Critter-3 is correct. Since you know that this form is needed, it may delay the processing of the return that is submitted anyway. It is a best practice to submit your return in full at one time, rather than amending.

So I would need to file by mail? That would mean no return for 6-8weeks. Can I not file and then amend w the 7202-T from? What is the pros and cons in doing so?
