Is this a glitch? When do you expect form 2106 to be available?

I have reimbursed expenses related to Reserve Military service. Not sure if this will even impact my federal return anymore. Do we know when the forms will be available or should I just remove this all-together if it no longer saves me money with a standard deduction.

Is there a way to force it to download the 2106 or manually install something?

If you can't update your TurboTax for Windows software using the normal update method, you can download and install a manual update. This is an executable file that can be downloaded locally or onto a removable device for transfer to another computer.

Manual updates are available for TurboTax for Windows federal CD/Download software products. They're not available for the Mac or TurboTax State programs, nor will they convert an older version of TurboTax to the current version.

See the Related Information section for more info.

Downloaded that file, tried that but is said I need to install TurboTax first. I have TurboTax Home and Business 2019 already installed.

I re-installed the application. Then tried to run the update, and the manual update. Same issue.

Due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 unreimbursed employee business expenses can no longer be claimed for a tax deduction for tax years 2018 through 2025. Therefore, Form 2106 and 2106-EZ are not included in TurboTax programs for tax years 2018 - 2025.
