The webpage says that the form is now available but my Turbotax which just updated says that the form isnt ready yet? How long does it take to integrate a form into turbotax?

At first it was Jan 23rd.

Then it was Feb 5th.

And now when I check it, its Feb 12th.

Makes me SICK, I NEED my my $5000 return, dont tell me one thing and then do another. Not cool or acceptable. Nothing is more frustrating then seeing others get their returns while you cant do anything but pray that your form will become available.

Thank you for your patience while I did some research for the 2018 issue on the Zero SR bike.

After looking into it further the Zero SR is one of the vehicles that was added to the list of vehicles eligible for the tax credit retroactively on December 20, 2020. It was not on the original list for the 2018 tax season. If you mentioned that above, I apologize that I missed it - this has been a busy thread and one of many on this topic!

TurboTax amendment software for 2018 has not yet been updated for any of the "tax extenders" that were made retroactive for 2018. Our developers are still finalizing all of the last-minute changes to the 2019 tax year.

Once 2019 is finalized and complete, they will work to update the 2018 amendment program for the changes that were signed into law on 12/20/2019.

Check for an update to the amendment software in approximately six weeks. That is not a firm date but I do not expect the update for 2018 for the retroactive changes to be available earlier than that.

I'll keep this post in my list, though, and if I see any updates regarding that program I'll tag you and let you know! I truly don't expect to see much action on that right away, though.

@ChibiBiker

Thank you @SusanY1 will check in again in late March.

Is the 8936 EV rebate form included in the 1019 tax package?

I just used H&R to file since they have form 8936 for some time now. If they have it you have no excuse not to!

It looks like the final form was posted on the irs website on 1/29/20. Not sure why it hasn’t appeared within TurboTax yet.

The IRS has apparently not approved the Turbo Tax form. Latest ETA is 2/12.

All discussion threads say that form 8936 would be available on TurboTax by Feb 2 or Feb 5. It is Feb 7, and it is STILL NOT available. What is the new available date?

OK, I'm done with this.

I read through all the threads and it is apparent that Turbo Tax is the problem, not the IRS. TB sent their product to the IRS too late in the season to be tested and can't get it up and running for this year.

ALL!! go to H&R block. They have it up and running. They thought it through.
