i can not efile because of form 8582

I got a three minute update from TT on Maryland Taxes this morning, February 12 @10AM. Finally I was able to print my Maryland Tax Return. I wish to thank all who joined me in this effort. I had contact on a regular basis with a very nice lady in the Maryland Comptroller's E-File division. She worked very hard on the issue and informed this morning (a Saturday!) that yesterday the State had approved TT's changes to the Maryland Tax Forms. Truly a team effort!

I can not e-file because the system keeps asking me to complete IRS form 8582 which has no meaning to me.

I'm not sure how to post a new post, so I decided to reply to yours. I was able to just file my state taxes after previously e-filing only federal . The solution was to go to step by step instructions and pull up the form (8582). If you have "0" typed on the form or any other dollar amount, you need to right click mouse and choose override to delete the amount. After this is done this should solve the problem and let everyone file their state taxes. Hope this works for all!

I have the turbotax deluxe. In the top right hand corner across from the Federal Refund and Maryland Refund tabs there are three titled tabs, Forms, Flags, Notitifications. Click on the Forms tabs, afterwards the Form 8582 automatic appears on screen. Scroll through the form and see if there are any amounts listed on the Form. If so, go to the column(s) the amount(s) are on and right click your mouse until see other options appear which will show the override option. Click override to the delete any amounts if generated on the form, then down the bottom click close form. Once the amounts were deleted the form immediately was gone and I was able to continue to file taxes. Of course, this only applies if the form is not related to your taxes. I filed a MD tax form.

I'm having the same issue with form 8621

The 8582 should be functional in the next couple of days.

But the TT program doesn't support the 8621 ...

I understand that. But the program is saying I need one when I don't. I don't know where the idea generated from.

I am having the same issue. It appears to be connected to my Maryland State tax filing. I am getting the following message when I try to complete the return and efile Federal and State taxes:

"Form 8582: Activity Description - This form is not ready to be filed due a (sic) change in the federal form. It should be available soon."

I do not file form 8582. I do not have any passive activities. What's going on?

Mine says the Exact same thing. I called the IRS and then MD Comptroller. IRS of course could not give me much info since the issue arises within my state return. I called the comptroller and waited on hold for 15 minutes just for the rep to get on the line and tell me some one would call me back and took down my info. As if life isn't stressful enough at this very moment

hi, I e-filed the Federal tax form and apparently we have to wait until February 10th to e-file Maryland. when you get to the part about e-file, delete the e-file from Maryland form. When i did this, it took my Federal tax return. if you can get it; care-cdn.productsupportsite.a.intuit.com Maryland Individual Forms

Last year it was the schedule C and now this form 8582. I hope its ready soon....because its stopping me as well and I do not even own rental properties. Does anyone know if this is limited to just us in MD?

I think I found the answer--In Maryland there is a problem with State Tax Division. I got around the problem, at least for now by NOT asking for the Maryland tax to be e-filed for now. When I only e-filed the US 1040, it went through. Apparently Maryland is trying to resolve issue. Will try re e-file for Maryland next week.

Thanks so much for this .... I'm going to wait a few days to see if MD fixes the problem. If not I will do the same. Thanks for the tip.

I’m having the same issue they say it’s just for Maryland and should be fixed by 2/10 and the live expert told me to just file my federal then come back and try my state taxes after that day.

Same issue with me and same message. Its now January 31st and it still says form will be available soon but I don't even file this form and have no PAL at all what so ever. Anyone get this fixed? Also it won't let you delete the form either.

I did figure some of the problem out. When you get to the e-file part, delete the check for Maryland e-file and only do the Federal e-file. That worked for me. Apparently Maryland will fix the problem February 10th. Then we can delete the Maryland 8582.

Thank you for this suggestion. That's just what I did, and immediately was able to file my Federal tax forms. MD can go later. I have NO idea what this new form is; from the descriptions I've read, it has nothing to do with anything in my world. So we shall see ....

Anyway, thanks again for that helpful hint. All my frustration is gone. Ahhhhh ....

Hi, figured some of it out. When you get to section towards the end where mt to you are asked to e-file the Fed and Maryland forms delete the check for Maryland and only file Fed 1040, Worked for me. I found out Maryland will somehow fix their issue February 10th. I will to e-file Maryland then.

I went ahead and did the same. I talked with a Turbo Tax rep yesterday. I had no clue why that form was coming up and he couldn't find out why either. I filed my Fed and waiting for a few days to check on the form.

Mine and my dads was doing the same thing . We ended up getting it to work by restarting the state taxes like deleting it and starting over and we had to upgrade to the highest method on turbo tax like deluxe or something like that but it ended up working after that but charged us 226 because of the turbo tax upgrade .

I am still getting this error/issue message regarding Maryland. I suggested filing just the federal and having the program notify me when the Maryland return can be filed.

I had the same problem; I think that when asked to enter an amount in the form for small business I enter 0.

I think that told Turbotax that I sold a business, I should have left the box empty.

When I went to forms and got to form 8582, and at the bottom of the screen I hit Delete. The file was deleted and then I was able to file my return.
