Form 7202 is used by self-employed individuals to figure an amount to claim for qualified sick and family leave equivalent credits on their 2020 tax returns. See the 2020 Instructions for Form 7202 for eligibility information.

Form 7202 must be attached to your tax return. Since the form won't be supported in e-file, you'll need to print both Form 7202 and your entire 1040-series return and mail them to the IRS.

Is 7202 unsupported by IRS or Turbotax? I've heard the explanation that "attach this form to your 1040" means you can't efile. That sounds off esp since other "attach" forms are efiled.

Unfortunately Form 7202 may be unsupported for e-filing your tax return. Please see the information below for assistance:

I do not need to file form 7202, but TurboTax keeps telling me it is part of my return. Is it automatic for all self-employed? Why would I pay TurboTax for the benefit of efiling, when I can't efile??? I could have just filled this all out by hand and been done. Super frustrating.

@cmaggie Under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, if you are a self employed person including those who receive a 1099-MISC or NEC, and if you were not able to work or telework due to reasons related to the coronavirus, you are eligible for this Sick Leave and Family Leave credits. You would need to file a Form 7202 to figure the amount to claim for the credits.

If not, you might need to remove them from the program. Here are the steps:

In TurboTax online:

1. Sign into your account, select Pick up where you left off

2. Select Tax Tools, click on the drop down arrow

3. Select Tools

4. Under Other helpful links, choose Delete a form

5. Select Delete next to the Form 7202 and Continue with My Return

Note: If you do need to file this form and are unable to e-file, the fee is for the software to prepare your taxes, e-filing is included.

Also, if this form does apply to you and you want to e-file and claim the credit, your best option will be to first e-file without the credit, and then prepare an amended return claiming the credit.

I took all of these steps. It is not in the list of forms under tools and it still won’t let me efile. I would like a refund if this can’t be resolved.

IRS form 7202 Credits for Sick Leave and Family Leave for Certain Self-Employed Individuals is not currently available for e-file. The form allows you to report these new tax credits:

Credit for Sick Leave for Certain Self-Employed Individuals. If you are self-employed, you may be eligible for a refundable tax credit equivalent to a qualified sick leave amount. Qualified sick leave is based on your average daily self-employment income.
Credit for Family Leave for Certain Self-Employed Individuals. If you are self-employed you may be eligible for a refundable tax credit equal to 100 percent of a qualified family leave equivalent amount for eligible self-employed individuals.

TurboTax forms availability can be found here.

To remove the form, the form can be found at Federal / Deductions & Credits / Tax relief related to COVID-19 /.

You also may be able to remove the form with the Delete a Form tool.

Down the left side of the screen, click on Tax Tools.
Then click on Tools.
Then in the center of the page, click on Delete a Form.
Choose the form to be delete and click Delete to the right of the form(s).

Use Form 7202 to figure the amount to claim for qualified sick and family leave equivalent credits under the FFCRA and attach it to your tax return. If you are filing a joint return, show the name of the spouse with self-employment income on Form 7202.

When will turbo tax make the form 7202 available fro efile? It is available on other softwares to efile. please advise

Re: Turbotax efile 7202

Amazo2 — Mon, 22 Feb 2021 13:30:27 GMT

Yes please advise when you plan on supporting efile of this form. It’s really lazy of Intuit when the IRS has a guideline on how to support this efile with software vendors. You’ve already taken our money!

Quite recently, there was a TurboTax update announced that e-filing Form 7202 is expected to be available March 11, 2021 as of this writing. All software platforms have had an exceptional number of changes to implement due to new legislation in response to COVID-19. TurboTax guarantees form accuracy 100%.

The IRS only recently has permitted e-filing Form 7202 and the program is being updated as quickly as possible.

Form 7202 would have been generated in response to questions about your employment, particularly if there was qualified sick or family leave. You will need to check the entries for any income being reported in your tax return.

For more information from the IRS, see: About Form 7202

2020 IRS Form 7202 Instructions (Credits for Sick Leave and Family Leave for Certain Self-Employed Individuals)

Until the program is updated, if you wish to proceed, you would have to paper file. The IRS takes at least 6-8 weeks to process a paper filed return and 2-3 weeks to process an electronically filed return.

To paper file your return, see these links:

I am greatly looking forward to this update, as my taxes are all done and I just need to file. I assume we can run the "Check For Updates" on our downloaded TurboTax Application in order for this update to be synced?

I spoke with a customer service specialist today, and she did not really give a clear answer on if e-filing support is for sure happening, so I just want to make sure that this is the case and if March 11th is still the planned date for it.

Thank you 🙂

Re: Turbotax efile 7202

AkinaLO — Thu, 25 Feb 2021 21:14:57 GMT

Yes. please continue to check for updates. Tentatively the form should become available within a few weeks. TurboTax has worked hard with the IRS to be able to e-file this form. Since this will require programming adjustments for both the IRS and TurboTax, it will be a few weeks before these changes are made.

If you wish to file this form, you have the following options:

Mail-in your return now and not wait until the form is available to e-file.
E-file your return without the form, and then file an amended return with the form attached to it (amended returns now also can be e-filed for greater convenience).
Wait until the form is available in TurboTax and e-file your entire return at once.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions on how to do this.

I am also unable to e-file due to this form. Pls make this option available to efile within TT asap.

This form will be available soon to E-file. Since this will require programming adjustments for both the IRS and TurboTax, it will be a few weeks before these changes are made. If you wish to file this form, you have the following options:

Mail in your return now and not wait until the form is available to e-file.
E-file your return without the form, and then file an amended return with the form attached to it (amended returns now also can be e-filed for greater convenience). This form will be available later this month.
Wait until the form is available in TurboTax and e-file your entire return at once.
