It was showing originally 02/20/25 now its showing 02/27/25.  I have used TurboTax for many years and have never had the forms updated so I will be late filing!!

Thank you for your feedback. We are working on this and the form will be available as soon as possible. The availability date is estimated and the link below will have the most up-to-date estimate of availability.

Use this tool to check availability of forms, including the Form 4684 (Casualties and Thefts Personal Use Property): Tax form availability

Form 1040 is not due until April 15th, but if you believe that you will need additional time, you can request an extension.  Here is a link with more information: Free federal tax extension available in March

We are we going to be able to e-file?  I didn't see where is telling us when.

The availability date for this form is 02/27/2025. As Mindy mentioned above, the availability date is estimated. 

While forms may be available from the IRS on a given date, we need a few days to make the forms available for use in TurboTax.

So lets breakdown some of the bull provided repeatedly...

1.  "forms" are not submitted when you efile your taxes.   A MeF (modernized eFile)  which is an XML document containing your tax information is submitted.

 2. Turbotax does not store all of you tax information in "Forms".   They house that information in a database.  As you enter your tax information into turbotax, it is stored in database tables for later proccessing or viewing. 
 This is coding 101, but lets just say you want to see all of your tax information you had entered into turbotax this year.  Code queries information from the database, then each of the values contained in the reponse are inserted into their assigned places within a template.  if we want to see our tax information in  user friendly view like on a webpage the the values would be insterted into html, which is basically a set of directs that tells your internet browser how the page should look.  The same  process is used to generate a pdf of your 1040.   
But its important to note, that both the same exact reasponse from the databse is filled into the html or pdf  template, and as well used to build a MeF xml file.  An xml  is as well created by inserting the values into their own  specific places in a template.   Here is what information parsed into a MeF xml looks like, and is what is tramitted to the IRS when you e-file. 
<xml>
    <firstName>John</firstName>
    <lastName>Doe<lastName
</xml>

No "forms" are sent to the IRS unless filed by mail.

So leats be clear...turbotax is not "working on any forms",   

If  the IRS is not allowing turbotax to efile when the MeF contains the sections relative to 4684, which is possible, intuit must ve FKed up huge.

Intuit could me spreventing everyone eho eoul




Yes you have until april 15, and infact people fikiing using form 4684 regarding a disaster have longer.    But that is really unimportant.  Turbotax DID NOT clarify they had not sorted this form out when It prompted me for the property loss information that is entered on the form.  After all of my  part of the tax filing job was done... then they came in nd said... ooops... you have to wait.  that was over a month ago now.   Same crap used car salesmen do.  They get you to invest time, and as you do not want that time wasted, they know it makes it more dificult to walk away.
