Get your taxes done using TurboTax
1) Tax software companies do not program from paper forms, they must use schemas that are issued by the IRS that the IRS uses the paper form to develop and distribute to the software companies. That usually takes 2-3 week after the paper form has been finalized, but with the IRS operating short staffed with the Coronavirus shutdown, it might take longer.
2) The 8915A/B forms are individual forms for each taxpayer, so on a joint return there can be one for each spouse so TurboTax separates them by naming them 8915B-T (Taxpayer - first spouse listed in the 1040 form) and 8915B-S (Spouse - second spouse listed) to keep them separated. Other forms are named the same way like the 5329-T and 5329-S.
