Wisconsin Taxes Won't eFile - Form 1 Line 22 - Penalties on IRA - Expected Timeline?

[KathrynG3]

It is possible to e-file the federal and delay the state by carefully following the three steps to file and only selecting the federal.

For more information, see: How do I e-file my state after I already filed my federal?

Regarding adding your baby to the 2020 tax return, report what, if anything has been received for the first and second stimulus by following these steps for the Recovery Rebate Credit:

1. Go to the search box and enter stimulus. Click the Jump to link.
2. Answer Yes.
3. At the next screen, Let's double-check the amount you received, answer No to edit the first-round and second-round amounts.
4. If no stimulus amount was received, enter 0. An amount must be entered in each box. When finished, click Continue.

Regarding the new stimulus news, the IRS has not issued any further guidance on the impact of the new legislation. For the most recent updates, see: Coronavirus Tax Relief and Economic Impact Payments.

Any updates on this?  Is the plan still March 24th?  Any feedback would be appreciated on this.  Thanks!

Same issue for Wisconsin, this is so frustrating.  Can anyone tell me the support phone number, I can't even find that.

Thank you for your post. I was able to figure out how to file just my federal and delay my state. At first, it was a little tricky to figure it out.

If anyone is having troubles, I figured it out by selecting file by mail and it brought me to a screen to where I could pick how I wanted to file both my state and federal by hitting edit. After that, I was able to select to delay state. Hopefully that helps someone!

I've been waiting for the issue to be resolved. I've already paid turbo tax to file, but this issue has yet to be resolved. It's frustrating not be able to file my taxes that have been completed for a month now.

Agreed. There are work around to at least getting fed filed. All of the ones mentioned worked. I got my fed filed and just have it on my calendar to remind myself to go back and try and submit state at the end of the month. From what I'm understanding from the email I got at the accounting firm that I work at, the IRS is planning on pushing the deadline back to mid-May.

Also having the same issue... won't let me put blank or 0 since Wisconsin is waiving penalty. Hopefully an update soon... very annoying this is taking so long. I think I might just switch back to my accountant since Turbotax decided to increase prices again and then stuff like this happens...

I just sent my Wisconsin taxes in manually. 

1. Switch to Forms Mode if you're in the Step-by Step interview. 
2. Right-click the line item and select Override (Windows) or choose Override from the Edit menu (Mac).
3. Enter the value; it should turn red, indicating an override. (In this case 0)
4. Switch back to the interview by clicking Step-by-Step in the upper right corner.
5. I printed out my Wisconsin return.
6. If you were required to file a Form 5329 or 5330 with your Federal return enclose a copy of it with your Form 1. ( this is from WI Dept of Revenue instructions for Line 22 of Form 1)
7. I searched for both forms and found Form 5329.
8. Then I went to File>>Print Active Form
9. It's not doing it electronically but at least you can file your state return. I've always found the State of Wisconsin gets the money to you quickly even with a paper file.

I just got off an hour and a half phone call and the response that I got was that this issue will be fixed on March 25th. I shared my screen and then the person I was talking to, spoke to some sort of "tiered" support and then they told her March 25th. So...fingers crossed I guess.

[boltonb]

The problem is fixed. I was just able to successfully file my Wisconsin taxes! 

[okhamphouy]

Thanks for the update @boltonb. I can also confirm that they have it fixed. Finalized my WI state taxes this morning.
