1099-R Availability - Windows Desktop version still shows no update and will be available "1/11"

Hello,

The 1099-R forms are still on showing on the step-by-step version and says they will be available 1/11/25.  It's not 1/20/25 and they still aren't there.  My installation of Turbotax Deluxe 2024 Windows desktop version shows no updates since 12/23/24 and when I ask it to check for online updates - it says I am "up to date".   When will these forms get released as an update to the Windows desktop version?  Thank you.

The following usually works

Shut down your TTX software.

Check for any Windows updates the haven't installed yet, then reboot your computer.

Sometimes a 2x reboot is really helpful...but may not be necessary

Then download and install the Manual Update.

It takes longer than expected to install, so be patient

Manually Update TurboTax for Windows Software

When your re-start TTX, run the regular TTX updates again.....sometimes the Manual update is one update behind.

Dang  - thanks.  Been using TTX for many years and that is the first time I've had to manually apply a patch.  Thank you - seems that I have to 1099-R forms now.  Hopefully, future online updates will start working again.  Much appreciated.
