Why does the IRS has the 2019 8606-S form on their website, but Turbotax has place my tax processing on hold for that same document?

While the IRS did recently released the form, it does take a few days for new versions of forms to be programmed into our software.

 

In addition, sometimes IRS e-file systems are not ready for forms at the same time that the paper forms are released.  

 

You can view the expected release date for this form here: IRS Forms Availability in TurboTax.

The IRS site is the paper version of that for.  The electronic version is always 2-4 weeks behind the paper version.

TurboTax  is waiting on the IRS to approve the new forms.  Estimated is 2/12.
