It's still not available, at least from what I see in the online version.

 

It first had an availability date of 2/5/20, then 2/12/20, now it's no longer listed on the website. What's going on with this form? Why is it not being made available?

 

Little odd TurboTax...

Well, the form is available, yet when I filed last week, the return was rejected due to the form.

Supposedly, the form is updated today.  Why is this so hard?  My mother in law just refiled her return this morning with the supposedly "updated" form and hers was immediately rejected.  What's the deal?
