So here is the issue. It’s a software/coding issue with the TurboTax software. Form CF-COV is recognized by turbo tax as a STATE form. Even though CF-COV is a form used to file CITY tax returns. Therefore if you have paid City income taxes and it’s showing on your W-2, the tax software automatically recognizes this and assumes you need to complete a city return. The form for the CITY return (CF-COV) is not available yet and since TurboTax also sees this as a STATE form it is preventing users from filing STATE returns. There is NO workaround…
Stupid right?
So basically the writers of the software developed it, most likely inadvertently, to hold your STATE return hostage until the CITY form is available.
The form is supposed to be available on 2/10/2022. I am being told I can e-file my state return after that date. Insanely annoying, anger inducing and frustrating…. I requested a refund from TT because I paid for this service and because the writers of the software don’t understand the difference and that this form is NOT NEEDED to file a state return. Our state returns are held in purgatory until 2/10… thank you TurboTax for being asinine about this.
