Can someone from Intuit or other users give any more solid answer to the situation being asked about in this thread?
There are a number of us who are sole proprietors with no other employees, file our own taxes with Schedule C, and want to claim this auto-enrollment credit for a Solo 401(k) each year over the next few years. We need to be able to fill out just part II of Form 8881 to claim the $500 credit, have that information flow correctly to Form 3800 and then on to the 1040. And then we need all of these forms to be included in our final tax filing and not have the filing rejected.
From reading this thread so far, Intuit has been saying for a while now that this will be made possible, but user responses say it still hasn't been. Some of us are trying to make time-sensitive decisions that depend on whether we'll be able to claim this credit when we do our 2024 taxes or not. And I see others in the thread may still be trying to claim the credit for 2023 taxes.
As people in this thread have tried to make clear to the responders from Intuit, this is not about Part I of Form 8881 which is the Startup Credit, a different credit. This is about those of us not claiming anything on Part I and only claiming Part II, the Small Employer Auto-Enrollment Credit as sole proprietors (not businesses with other employees, not as partnerships, and not as S-Corps).
I would like to know when this will be implemented and with all honesty which versions of TurboTax will allow this. I really wish it would be implemented in the online version. It is frustrating to be able to file the entire rest of the taxes, but not be able to use TurboTax because of a couple forms that need just a number or two filled out and to be included in the return. And it's been difficult trying to make decisions that require the ability to claim this credit while waiting to hear when it will be fully functional.
Any straight answers? Thank you!
