Why is it that TurboTax doesn't provide these forms? I've been using it for almost 20 years, since it's beginnings and it seems absolutely absurd that after all these years they haven't been able to include this and 8865 or the other forms mentioned regarding forms... Any ideas?
Why doesn't TurboTax allow us the simple option of attaching a completed pdf file(s) to our electronic submission?
On another note, I submitted my return electronically and obviously didn't include my 5471 or 8865... can they be submitted separately with a cover letter?
TurboTax does not support Form 5471 and Form 8865 as so few taxpayers require these forms.
See this TurboTax support FAQ for forms not supported - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/forms/help/which-irs-forms-are-not-included-in-turbotax/01/25551
The IRS will not accept PDF attachments to an e-filed federal tax return. If attachments are required the federal tax return has to be printed and mailed.
A Form 5471 and Form 8865 are attached to the tax return that is being filed, either personal, corporate or partnership as required by the form instructions.
