Turbo Tax - 8621 not supported in 2022
Two years in a 2021 and 2022, Turbo Tax has indicated that it does not support 8621 form. This is forcing me to file my returns manually, which is time consuming and requiring a lot of effort.
I did not face this issue in prior years since, in spite of using Turbo Tax, I was filing my return through a professional whose software supported filing of 8621 form electronically.
It is really frustrating to see, that in spite of 8621 being around for so many years, Turbo Tax is yet to support it. I hope it realizes that it is causing a lot of pain to its customers who need to file the form - either they have to do it manually or have to pay a third-party to file the return.
I have been asking myself this question since 2021 - If I have to pay a third-party anyways, why should I purchase Turbo Tax ?
I am bringing this up now since it is quite early for 2023 tax filing so I am hoping that Turbo Tax will listen and implement the support for 8621 form in the 2023 version of Turbo Tax.
Please note that I am a customer of Turbo Tax since 1998 but it is now forcing me to look at alternatives.
