2022 Turbotax Form 8915F-T - Cannot e-file

Bump on this.  I have been waiting on this form as well and just noticed today that it says "Cannot E-file".

It previously said I would be able to e-file on 2/16/2023.

Does anyone have additional information on this?

Just wait for it to be available. 

Go to this TurboTax website for federal and state forms availability - https://form-status.app.intuit.com/tax-forms-availability/formsavailability?albRedirect=true&product...

Well that doesn't really answer my question.  Will it be available for e-file? how do you know it is a typo?

I didn't ask about the table on the website.  I asked about why, in the software itself, it previously said it that it be available for e-file on 02/16/2023 and now it says that form 8915F-T will only be able to be filed by mail.

I think your response just confuse the issue, has little credibility, and might lead someone to think that the question was answered when it was not.

"Just wait."  Why? until when? based on what information?

hello, that form needs to be filed e-filled, I've done it since 2020.  Will it or will it not?

Now it says to me this form is available to file on 2/23/2023. When it has been stated 2/16/23. It still says I can't e-file either!

While I am disappointed  about the date being pushed back, that has happened with this form in the past, if I remember correctly this form it wasn't available until 03/14/2022 last year.  If it's pushed back you can thank the IRS and not TurboTax, it just means the IRS is taking longer to certify Intuit as far as the validity of it's generation of the form.

My real concern is about the changes in the software stating that Form 8915F-T won't be able to be e-filed.  And my annoyance is with Intuit for not stepping into this thread and giving an answer with as much information as currently available.

MER

Agreed MER, and disappointed that they marked this question as solved.  Also, why does the IRS form page say that the 8915-F (spouse) Will be able to be e-filed, but the other 8915-F listed wont? It would be nice to actually here from someone from Intuit on this. 

Agreed! The original question asked has NOT been solved. It should not be marked as such. The only thing on TurboTax that is confirmed as of now is that, on Feb 23 it will be available to File by Mail, and it still states that, re: 'Available to E-file' that 'Cannot e-file'. 

I understand it may be delayed; as mentioned, it was delayed last year. But it's the means of filing that is up for discussion right now. 

So I'd really like TurboTax to provide an answer to the actual question that was originally asked. 

WILL Form 8715F-T (ever) BE AVAILABLE FOR E-FILE? 

I am certain if the spouse's form will efile then the taxpayer's form will as well ... this must be typo on the chart ... 

Well your hunch may indeed have been correct.  This is what the software just displayed (which is a change since just this morning.)

correct! it has been updated now!

Now the date has been pushed back into March. Does anyone know how to seek a refund from TurboTax for their defective product?

Yes, that is disappointing.  Looks like 03/02/2023 now.  To be honest, this is exactly what happened last year, and it effected all e-file providers equally.  As far as I understand it, all e-file forms have to be approved by the IRS, so even though the form is on the IRS website, each individual tax service has to go through a validation process.

So as far as getting a refund for TurboTax Desktop being defective, well it's not defective.  It just won't have the form ready as fast as you like.  My free advice is to transition to the online web version if you can.  The online version is pay when you file and not before, so no locked in feeling.  Then you can go to anyone you'd like and file your taxes at the earliest possible moment.

That's what I am doing next year after this CARES retirement distribution nonsense is finally over.  I will start using TurboTax online TY 2023.

My issue with this is, I've never taken a Disaster Relief Distribution, so I can't figure out why I would even need this form.  I answered NO to that question, that I have never taken one yet still I cannot e-file because this form is not finalized.  Why would I need to file this form?  Does anyone know if this is a glitch or if this form is required for all e-filed returns?

Glitch, you definitely do not need the form if you do not have disaster relief transactions.  For giggles, did you try just starting the return over from scratch?

I do not understand why the delay on turbo tax with this form...the irs has the form available.  The only delay is on Turbo Tax :(  Now is says available March 3rd.  

I explained that a few posts up.

I will be looking next year for another software and i certainty dont trust TurboTax to keep my info secure so i would never purchase the online version. I on;y purchase the desktop version.  They seem to be completely incompetent in timely software updates and when you try to contact them get the runaround so the last thing i would do ist trust them with my info online

Fair enough.  I did not really think of it from that aspect, maybe I'll stick with the desktop software.  I am not sure any other online provider safeguards your data more or less than Intuit.  However, if you find another desktop version that seems better, I would be interested. 

I have been using the desktop software off and on for almost 25 years for fairly complicated personal returns with all sorts of partnership income and business income.  The software has never made an error that triggered an audit or a penalty.  However, one year an accountant cost me $2300 in penalties and interest, go figure.

The form is the same as last year so it makes no sense for there to be such a delay in having this form available for filing this year.

This is ridiculous. It keeps getting delayed. Now it's March 2nd... UGH!

Form 8915F-T - Qualified Disaster Retirement Plan Distributions and Repayments

Available to File

03/02/2023

Yeah, this makes me mad. I’m using the version on my phone to get a discount thru Lyft since I’m a Lyft driver. I paid when I was finished filling everything out ….then they tell me I can’t even file until March 2 and from y’all have been saying, that date may not really be very accurate. If I had known that, I would not have paid yet. I would have looked at other companies. Sounds like this issue is with desktop version and mobil app - well at least that part makes sense. Dang it. 
I used TaxAct for several years then switched to TurboTax last year. I wonder if TaxAct is having this same issue.   Last year I filed my taxes late so I did not run into this issue.  This year I got my taxes ready to submit early. I will be doing more research next year before choosing TurboTax.  Pretty disappointing. 

Every year there is an issue or 2 that delay things for some folks and all you can do is be patient while the wrinkles are worked out.  

I use the online version and the issue is affecting me also, so it doesn't appear to matter which version is used.  With the online version I also had to pay before I found out I wasn't able to file.  Hopefully the date remains March 2nd.
