when is IRS required to provide an updated form after legislature has been placed in force.
That is entirely up to the IRS. In the past, when Congress has passed a late tax bill it has taken the IRS several months to supply the new forms. The IRS first writes the new paper form, then the instructions, then they must write the electronic specifications for that form and get that to the e-file providers, like TurboTax. Only then can the e-file providers write the new form with must then be submitted back to the IRS for approval before it can be released to customers. That usually takes 2-3 weeks after the IRS issues the paper form. Hopefully that will be done prior to the April 15 due date.
That is only one of several affected forms.
