Do i have to wait until TurboTax updates IRA section?

The Form 1099-R section is estimated to be finalized and available in TurboTax on 01/21/2026

If you received a distribution...then YES you have to wait.  You need to enter ALL your income before filing.

IF you don't, then you need up with the later nightmare of amending sometime, but no sooner that 19 February.  An amended file cannot stop the original filing....don't go that route.

It is now January 21 and still no update for the Retirement Income section. Does anyone have any info as to when the update will finally become available? Thank you.

same question any update on this when this section will be available? i need to file on or before feb1st.

There should be an update that will resolve this in the late afternoon on Friday.
