Is anyone else seeing the error that form 8582 is not ready to be filed due to a change in the federal form? I am filing in Maryland. What does this mean? ? can I still file? When will it be ready? 


Thanks,

Why is it even bringing that up!? I don’t have the slightest clue what it even means, let alone for it to pertain to me or my taxes! TurboTax says “they’re working to resolve it” but WHEN!?

Form 8582 is used to figure the amount of any passive activity loss.

 

If this is in your Maryland tax return, our team is working to resolve an error message in some Maryland state returns that gives an error message about Form 8582 needing an update, even if there are no passive losses to report.

If the federal forms are all finalized and it is ready to e-file, you can choose to file just the federal return at this time, then come back when your state forms are ready and then e-file that return. The filing date for tax year 2021 Maryland state returns was extended to July 15th, 2022.

  1. When you get to the Here are your filing options screen
  2. Select Change next to your state return
  3. On the Change filing method screen
  4. Select I'm not ready to file
  5. Click Save

 

Note, if you don't e-file them together, you do have to wait until the federal is accepted before you can e-file the state. Sometimes this takes a day or even two.

 

Here is a TurboTax Help article with directions for when you return to file your state return.

I noticed you've posted estimated fix dates for other states.  Do you have an estimated fix for Maryland?
