Click on Review
at the top of the program screen. In the
Review section is a screen that
shows the forms and schedules included in your tax return that have not been
finalized and the date they will be available.
The IRS will not begin accepting tax returns until 1/29/18. You can still prepare your return in TurboTax
now, but you will not be able to file it until the IRS begins accepting them
(it will remain securely on our server until then).
The IRS also does not have all of the forms finalized and
ready for filing yet. Please read the
TurboTax FAQ below for IRS
Forms Availability Table for TurboTax Individual (Personal) Tax Products.
Similarly, you may have state forms that have not been
finalized. Please see the TurboTax FAQ
for state form availability
table.
Please note that the estimated 21-day period to receive a
refund is calculated from the date that the e-file is successfully submitted to
the IRS – and not necessarily from the date the customer submits their return
in TurboTax
The IRS will hold all 2017 tax returns that have a tax
refund which includes EIC and/or the Additional Child Tax Credit util mid-February. They will release the tax refunds in late
February if there are no errors on the tax return.
