Unfortunately the IRS is very underfunded and lacks personal so they only write e-file specifications that require programing the IRS e-file system and tax providers system, testing each one for compatibility and authorizing the changes, is very labor intensive.     They do not do that for little used forms.

Hello All,

I see the Form 8915B for 2020 in Turbo Tax. Now you can file your taxes.  Thank you.

Thanks for the info but I’ve completely DROPPED TurboTax and went with another tax provider who had the forms ready a lot longer than this company had! Good riddance TT!

This morning (4/9/2021) Turbo Tax form availability site is showing 2020 form 8915B as "available".   Through yesterday the date continued to change since I purchased 2020 TT in January with 4/8/2021 as the most recent scheduled date.  However, my actual TT filing is still showing "ready soon".   These are conflicting indicators FROM  Turbo Tax.   It's not really available if I can't complete my actual taxes!   What's up?????

Please call TurboTax support for assistance.

What is the TurboTax phone number?

[mesapsa]

Better yet use a DIFFERENT tax preparation service! Due to this I’ll NEVER go back to TutboTax!

If you are using the desktop software then update the program.   The form was in the 4/8 update.

The 8915-B is part of the 1099-R interview.  It will appear if you say you had a disaster in 2020. 

Here is an IRS link about natural disaster relief

And an IRS video for victims of natural disasters.

Do what I did, go see H and R Block and let them do it for you! Last time I’ll ever use TurboTax!

E-filing of the Form 8915-B is not supported.  The form can only be printed and mailed.

So how do I include it so I can pay the last part of taxes for it?
