Agree with you, that form is definitely a blocker in TT.
Personally I got tired of the form 8911 availability date being pushed out with no end in sight. IRS owes me a lot of money so I removed that form and filed my taxes. Especially with a looming government shutdown, you don't know how that might affect the refund speed. After I will receive the refund, I will go back to TT to file an amended federal return, hoping that TT finally gets their act together by that time. Hopefully it will be straightforward. I think TT owes at least a refund to all the people whose had to remove that form in order to file, or had to wait before filing, or had to create an amended return.
