Software says I can't file my state return because Mass is still working on schedule X & Y.

"We can't file your return just yet because the government is still working on finishing up certain tax forms..."

When I try to sign up for email updates, I get the error: "Unable to load messageid Invalid number of dom parameter components specified (3) : Required format: dom=[federal/state formsetid];[form id];[form name];[platform];&dom=... for en_US"

The state web site says the schedules are ready. https://www.mass.gov/lists/2020-massachusetts-personal-income-tax-forms-and-instructions

When will Turbo Tax be updated so I can finish my state return for MA?

Please see the following link for the specific dates that Massachusetts Schedule X and Y are anticipated to be finalized.

MA form release schedule

Please be aware it is important to wait for the forms to be finalized before filing your tax return.

This will ensure that your return is prepared correctly following the guidelines issued by MA.

It will also avoid any potential errors that could potentially delay the processing of your tax return.

I am having the same problem. Turbo Tax is not allowing me to include Schedule X, and this is preventing me from legitimately excluding IRA distributions to qualified charities from taxable income. I am spending hours on the phone with them and getting nowhere. For my first call, their reply only dealt with itemized deductions. For my second, after 1 1/2 hours Kaitlin finally told me that there was nothing they could do and that I would have to print Schedule X myself and file by paper!

Schedule X & Y is available and working for others. MA other income and deductions should not be a problem for you. You were on the phone for some time, I imagine you did all the technical stuff. If you are using online, it may be worth switching to the desktop version.

Try this:

Delete the state form:
Log out of your return
Try one or more of the following:
- Don't use Internet Explorer.
- Clear cookies and cache, instructions on the links.
- Internet Explorer
- Mozilla Firefox
- Google Chrome
- Safari
- Safari for iOS (mobile devices)
- Sign in using a different browser.
- Sign in using a different device.
Log back into your return.
Enter the state form again.

If that fails, I would download the software and download the tax return, If you have not paid, you will need to pay to download. If you have already paid, contact customer service for a switch in service.

I only use Chrome and I already was told yesterday to do 1, 2, 4, and 5, which I did, and nothing changed. Schedule X doesn't even come up in a search. This seems to me like a very unprofessional and inconsiderate way to support a long-term customer.
