Tax Year Prior to 2020: Form 8936 (2019)

[lhopkins]

This week?  Ok so when is that exactly since we are officially half-way through THIS week?  It is the 12th afterall.

[lhopkins]

Be honest. The IRS did not make more changes to the form.  The IRS released this form on January 29th.  What you need to do is be accurate in your updates.  The truth is YOUR testing and code didn't pass IRS review and the IRS is telling you that you have to fix it.  Bad planning TT.

Form 8936  will be available in this week's release of TurboTax the  forms availability article will be updated.

@lhopkins actually the IRS did change the date, in fact they are showing it won't be available till 2/14: https://www.irs.gov/e-file-providers/list-of-available-free-file-fillable-forms

It still says 2/14 on that IRS site.  Where are you getting 2/20 from?

Form 8936  will be available in this week's release of TurboTax.  The forms availability article will be updated when the release is made.

Leonard,

Thanks for the update.  What does "this week" mean?  Does that mean Friday the 14th, which would agree with what the IRS site is saying now?

When you change dates, don't just remove the form from your list here:

Leave it in the list and say TBA, or something like that.  When it says 2/12 one day and the next day it is just gone, it makes people think TurboTax is not supporting that form anymore.

The calculation for this form is so easy.  You enter a few pieces of information and you receive an additional tax credit, which is added to your refund (So you get either $7,500; $3,750; or $1,875 more - depending on when you bought your car and if the manufacturer has sold 250,000 EV vehicles yet or not).

If you fill out the paper form, it takes about 2 minutes.  So I don't know why it is so hard to add into the software, unless this is a political issue and not a technical issue (i.e. Trump has told the IRS to delay refunds to EV owners as long as possible).  Don't laugh, this could very well be the reason.

It should be available 24 hours after the IRS approves TurboTax to use the form. Currently, the IRS has not finalized the form. Here is the IRS web page to check the status of form 8936: Available Forms and Limitations. Scroll down to Form 8936.

So, the experts are saying those whose can’t wait should go to H&R and get refund from TT for the software they’ve paid.

THANK YOU - I think you just saved me $500!

[lwhitten]

can you make sure that form 8911 is also included?

[VictoriaD75]

The IRS is currently defining the availability on Form 8911 as "to be determined." TurboTax will update any forms as made available by the IRS.
