Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@jolove3  Be sure that Intuit is working to get all forms ready for e-filing on time.  The forms you see may not "look" like they can be e-filed, but as @Critter-3 mentioned, the TurboTax program itself won't send any returns to e-file before January 6, and even if you e-file on that date, it will be until the IRS opens the filing season (which still is unannounced) before they will start accepting and processing returns.  State returns cannot be accepted via e-file until the IRS first accepts them.  

 

Which means that even if the forms were ready to e-file now, you gain nothing by e-filing now.  If for some reason this is not ready by the true start of tax season, that's another issue.  But at this stage of the season, as pointed out, there are a lot of programming situations that are getting worked out.  Tax programs have a lot of moving parts, and this year is an exceptionally challenging one due to the tax law changes and other tax issues being dealt with.
