So lets breakdown some of the bull provided repeatedly...
1. "forms" are not submitted when you efile your taxes. A MeF (modernized eFile) which is an XML document containing your tax information is submitted.
2. Turbotax does not store all of you tax information in "Forms". They house that information in a database. As you enter your tax information into turbotax, it is stored in database tables for later proccessing or viewing.
This is coding 101, but lets just say you want to see all of your tax information you had entered into turbotax this year. Code queries information from the database, then each of the values contained in the reponse are inserted into their assigned places within a template. if we want to see our tax information in user friendly view like on a webpage the the values would be insterted into html, which is basically a set of directs that tells your internet browser how the page should look. The same process is used to generate a pdf of your 1040.
But its important to note, that both the same exact reasponse from the databse is filled into the html or pdf template, and as well used to build a MeF xml file. An xml is as well created by inserting the values into their own specific places in a template. Here is what information parsed into a MeF xml looks like, and is what is tramitted to the IRS when you e-file.
<xml>
<firstName>John</firstName>
<lastName>Doe<lastName
</xml>
No "forms" are sent to the IRS unless filed by mail.
So leats be clear...turbotax is not "working on any forms",
If the IRS is not allowing turbotax to efile when the MeF contains the sections relative to 4684, which is possible, intuit must ve FKed up huge.
Intuit could me spreventing everyone eho eoul
Yes you have until april 15, and infact people fikiing using form 4684 regarding a disaster have longer. But that is really unimportant. Turbotax DID NOT clarify they had not sorted this form out when It prompted me for the property loss information that is entered on the form. After all of my part of the tax filing job was done... then they came in nd said... ooops... you have to wait. that was over a month ago now. Same crap used car salesmen do. They get you to invest time, and as you do not want that time wasted, they know it makes it more dificult to walk away.
