I cannot file. Turbo tax is missing Form 8606T and 8606S. What is the deal? It is February 14 already....and still missing forms?

The 8606 is currently estimated for 2/15/18 but that is subject to change. The IRS just published the paper/PDF 2017 version of the 8606 on Feb 2 and only issued the 2017 8606 instructions on 2/7/18.

The next scheduled TurboTax update is on Feb 15.

The IRS says the 8606 will not be available until 2/22.

Form and instructions have been available now for over a week. My entries one 8606 are not related to any changes due to hurricanes. What takes so long to update the program?

The IRS has to approve TT's programming of it first.

My main complaint is that TT hasn't updated their website to reflect the new date. If it isn't going to be ready today, then their website should be updated to reflect that change.

This date keeps moving out.

TurboTax has no other purpose than to be ready for this when the IRS completes the forms. The IRS has the forms ready. You folks already pushed back the date. No excuses. You said it would be done today. If I wanted to wait several weeks to file, I'd hire an accountant.

macuser_22 — Thu, 06 Jun 2019 17:13:43 GMT

The IRS web site said the 8606 would available Feb 12 and had a scheduled update for the MeF (Modernized e-file system) Sunday (Feb 11) night. The TurboTax date of Feb 15 was to allow testing time after the IRS update.

Now the IRS site says Feb 22 for the 8606, so I assume that the changes did not get applied to the IRS system as anticipated.

(From what I have read in other discussion groups, H&R B also says the 8606 is delayed)

smites2007 — Thu, 06 Jun 2019 17:13:45 GMT

If the IRS isn't releasing the form until 2/22 then when will it hit TT? We are getting desperate here, the whole reason we cashed in some IRA $$ was because of a cash flow situation WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY GETTING WORSE. Is it true another service is already filing this? Because we already paid TT, more's the pity....

smites2007 — Thu, 06 Jun 2019 17:13:46 GMT

OMG this form is TOTALLY ALREADY AVAILABLE on the IRS website! Can I get a refund from TT? I will just file with another service!!

If the IRS has not updated the MeF (Modern e-File system) that all e-file providers use, it makes no difference.

The paper/pdf form is not the same as the e-file data schema that e-file uses.

The IRS says the 8606 will not be available until 2/22.

https://www.hrblock.com/tax-software/updates-back-editions/federal-forms-available.html">https://www.hrblock.com/tax-software/updates-back-editions/federal-forms-available.html</a> Why does this say it is available at H&R Block?

Why is all this info so different?

Last minute tax law changes by Congress always cause delays.

The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 that was just passes on Feb 9th retroactively extended the tuition and fees deduction, PMI, energy credits and other deductions to Jan 1 or 2017. The IRS has no idea how long it will take to make all of those form changes. If the one 8606 has taken this long, that new law will change about 10 more forms.

But is it really true that this is a TT issue? What about Loyalcustomer above who says he/she has managed to file 8606 with HR Block?

macuser_22 — Thu, 06 Jun 2019 17:14:00 GMT

All I know is what the IRS says. Just it can be filed does not mean that the IRS will process it.

The IRS says the 8606 will not be available until 2/22.
