If the software keeps saying the forms are not ready, try clearing your cache and cookies. That will clear on residual information on the forms.

I received an email from TurboTax saying my forms are ready so I can file my return. I did the update and still it comes back the same thing, that the government is still working on my forms.

How long do I have to wait and why do I keep getting incorrect emails from TurboTax?
