Apparently the reason that TT was able to release the final version of Form 8283 on 2/5 is that the IRS released its final version on 2/4 (five days ago). Or rather, the IRS withdrew its draft 2024 version of the form, which TT was waiting for, with this statement:
https://www.irs.gov/draft-tax-forms?find=8283
On December 16, 2024, we posted a draft Form 8283 with minor changes from the prior revision. Based on comments from stakeholders, the draft will not be adopted. Taxpayers should continue using the December 2023 revision for tax year 2024.
Kudos to TT for getting this important update out to us so quickly after the IRS action.
