Simple return. Married filing jointly. Only 3 W-2s on income. No investments. TurboTax will not allow me to submit without waiting for Form 8960 for be released. I do not need this form and should not be forced to wait for it.
You will have delete form 8960 from your tax return.
To delete it, please follow these steps:
I actually called TT support. Deleting the form doesn't work. It keeps reappearing. I also tried a fresh start. It would appear that the trigger is MAGI and if you are above the MAGI threshold, you need 8960 even if it's to declare 0 dollars in investment income. Quite the bummer I have to wait until the first week of February only to say I not investment income, when I'm completely ready to submit my filing now. Seems silly.
typo - "Only to say I have no investment income" is what I meant. I also meant to thank you for the response.
Form 8960 works by going through the calculation if your modified AGI triggers that it might be applicable. The good news is that when the form becomes available and you are able to file your return, you will not incur a delay in processing since the IRS will not start processing returns until February 12, 2021.
To read more about Form 8960, take a look at the following TurboTax article.
What is Form 8960: Net Investment Income Tax
Agreed abs thanks for the response. However, the verbiage as written, conveys a Boolean AND. By that I mean it conveys if you have investment income AND your MAGI is above a certain threshold, firm 8960 needs to be included with your return. That’s not accurate. You need 8960 Smokey if your MAGI exceeds the limits defined it would seem.
Clarification in this regard by the IRS would have helped alleviate frustration.
