Form 8582: Activity Description

pjchae — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 04:20:22 GMT

I keep getting the entry check error: Form 8582: Activity Description - This form is not ready to be filed due to a change in the federal form. It should be available soon. Is this an error for everyone or is it an input error on my part. I noticed that system generated errors do not necessarily point out the error for turbotax...

EDIT: I live in Maryland and have no properties. The only additional income I submitted other than my W-2 was a 1099-K that I received for transactions via PayPal. I input this information and was not prompted to go anywhere else.

The Form 8582 is available for TurboTax Online, however the IRS still has it in draft and for TurboTax CD/Download it was scheduled to be available today. Give it a little time before trying to file.

Much appreciated, I was hoping that this was the scenario and that I hadn't encountered a major bug. Thank you for the clarification!

However, my main concern at this point is that I used the online e-file option which says both physical and e-file options are available.

I just spent 45 mins on the phone with 2 reps who also were very perplexed about this issue. I too reside in MD and do not own any rental income or otherwise have any condition in which this form applies to me or is required. The reps found the issue is being triggered by a 1099 form; specifically for me a 1099 MISC but not sure if other 1099 forms are also triggering the issue.

The specific form that is not yet available will be available on 2/10; the rep provided me with a link with the schedule of release for certain forms https://care-cdn.prodsupportsite.a.intuit.com/forms-availability/turbotax_md_online_individual.html

So basically nothing can be done to bypass this until then unfortunately.

According to Intuit Customer Support this is affecting many MD residents . . . you can either wait until 2/10 when the remaining MD forms are released, which may or may not correct the problem. Or 2 days from now, call Customer Support and ask for a service code to transfer your desktop edition, to an online account. These are not reporting to have the same problem as the desktop version of TurboTax. Hope this helps . . .

Unfortunately, the same problem exists with the online version as well.

I had the same problem and I also live in MD. However, I was able to efile the federal and luckily it was accepted as well. But I couldn't e-file MD state. It still gives me the same error ..........."Form 8582 not available". Plus, I have nothing to do with this form."

Assuming you have no passive activity losses in the current year, and none to carryover from prior years, Form 8582 is not necessary and thus, deleting it, assuming you have it in the list of your forms that have been completed or that are still missing information. See if you can find it, and delete it. Follow these steps to delete Form 8582.

Open or continue your return in TurboTax.
In the left menu, select Tax Tools and then Tools.
In the pop-up window Tool Center, choose Delete a form. You should now see a list of all the forms your return has generated. See if Form 8582 is on the list.
Select Delete next to the form/schedule/worksheet in the list and follow the instructions.

Here is a link to a TurboTax article discussing how to delete a form which you also may find helpful.

I tried the deleting option but the error persist. It appears once the finalized form is loaded into turbotax properly then only we'll be able to "use" or "not to use" it and/or delete it. I believe we have to wait till 2/10/2022 (date i got from the link sent by turbotax tech support guys, see it in one of the users comment).
