I'm curious who has to "approve" the forms for use. Although I've trusted TurboTax for over 20 years (and paid for this years product), I filed my federal and state returns yesterday with a competitor because I was unsure when TurboTax would be ready. I know the forms are projected to be ready 3/17/2022 but I was worried if it was delayed further because I am due a refund. It seems the "competition" already has approval to use the forms because I submitted and received notice my return was accepted by the IRS. The real proof will be when I get my refund. TurboTax has a proven record with me but I just couldn't keep waiting. TurboTax seems to be off their game this year. I will admit, the competitor's user interface was harder to navigate and the prompts did not seem as intuitive as TurboTax; but what good is a good UI and easy input if you can't file the return in the end.
