Unfortunately, from time to time Federal and State FORMs have to be revised and approved. This is a dynamic process and we aggressively pursue it. At this point the target date for almost all forms is 02/12/2020.
Included are LINKs both for the Federal and State FORM status

Thanks John, but if the form isn't ready, then why do I continue to receive emails from TurboTax saying the form is ready. Must be a glitch somewhere.

There may be a different issue. You may have to clear your Cache & Cookies. This has frequently caused problems with the loading of forms.

The IRS site shows that the form is available, however the TurboTax software shows 'available soon'. Clearing Cache hasn't helped.

I guess I'll have to call in for help. The app still says form available soon. When I check for updates, system says I'm up to date.

What version of the software are you using? Are you using online/mobile or desktop version?

Form 8889 has been available for months. Apparently, your copy of TurboTax is failing to recognize that it needs to be updated.
Please try the following:
- re-install your Windows software (this will not affect your tax return if you have closed TurboTax first)
- see this FAQ to learn how to manually update the Windows software
