When is the Form 8582 issue with Maryland Filers going to be resolved?

This is giving me an error for passive activity which I don't have.  I want to efile for speed.  That's why I am trying to do early.

Why is TurboTax generating Form 8582 when I have no passive activity loss in the state of Maryland?

You are holding my filing up and actually costing me money.  That money could be in my savings account drawing interest.

Any idea on when this is going to be resolved? Trying to file for 2 weeks now and can't get past this screen. Talked to specialists and their suggestion was just to submit without review and hope for the best. I have PAL and need this form to file.

I am chatting with Turbo Tax and they have no idea on this issue?  It seems like this is a problem with Turbo Tax and not the IRS.  It's tax season...why would a form not be ready?

i have spoken to one of the Turbo Tax experts and they have no clue on when this issue will be resolved.  You posted to check back in a few days.  It's been weeks now.  When is Turbo Tax going to fix this issue?

I think it is a TurboTax issue. The 2021 form appears to be ready:

Form 8582 is used to figure the amount of any passive activity loss, where you are not actively engaged in a business or investment, such as losses from rentals.

 

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

 

If the federal forms are all finalized and the federal 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 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.

TeresaM,

 

You admit that it is Turbo Tax's fault for this error.  Please  provide me an estimated time the error will be fixed.  This is completely unacceptable business.  I paid money to have my taxes efiled.  Either fix the problem or refund me my money.  Waiting until July 15th is not an acceptable solution either.  I am ready to file....NOW.  Please fix the form ASAP.

 

Please let me know what else I can do.

 

thanks,


Jason

I don't think its unreasonable to ask if its going to be another week, or if we are looking at several more months for this issue to be resolved.

TeresaM,

 

I've done all that you advised to do and I still am having problems with the efile for state?  I see your note about March 3rd.  I will try it again then.  

 

If it does not work who can I contact at TurboTax for a refund?

Ooof @jwebb1303  I think that last response basically means don't let the door hit your butt on the way out?
