Sometime after the IRS has completed finalizing IRS Form 1040 and Form 1040 Schedules 1 thru 6.  Should be sometime in January.  You will just have to wait and in the Review section of the TurboTax program will be the forms and schedules for your tax return that have not yet been finalized and a date when they will be finalized (if known).The IRS has not yet announced when they will be accepting any type of 2018 tax return.  Estimate that it will not be until the end of January.
