202 TurboTax Business software does not update

TurboTax just emailed me that a 2020 form (specifically Form 8960) is now ready for me to Complete an Estate tax return on TurboTax Business which I previously purchased and downloaded (Windows version)

I have tried the on-line "Check Updates" and it states my software is up-to-date.

I have tried reinstalling the 2020 TurboTax Business software to no avail.

I could not find manual update instructions for 2020 TurboTax Business (unlike 2019 and prior years).

Looking for some help on how to fix this situation and get the current form downloaded.

I had the same problem and TTax Support couldn't put their finger on it. So, I went to the IRS website and verified that certain finalized forms had simply not been released yet. My program knew that some of the forms were not finalized, but the TTax update routine apparently had a bug in it, and kept saying everything was current and there was nothing to download. The IRS finally released the updated forms, TTax business now updates properly, and I just completed and successfully e-filed a 1041 return.
