Yes, the *paper* version is on the IRS site. You can download that and the 1040 forms and do by hand if you want.
The paper version and electronic version that the IRS must provide are totally different.
Another hangup is not only does TurboTax have to program it's end, the IRS must program their e-file system to be able to *read* and *process* the data sent by TurboTax. The IRS assigns priorities and does common forms first and pushes lesser used forms to later. Until the IRS programs their end, TurboTax is in limbo, even is TurboTax is ready on it's end. The IRS has the bigger job to do, not only does the IRS e-file system be programed to accept the revised form, the entire IRS main processing system has to be programed to accept what it is end by the e-file system. There are many news articles as to how short handed and slow the IRS is this year.
So is is much more complex than just TurboTax getting the form ready.
