Why are people with eic and child tax credit that filed with other companies getting accepted in the hub test today, and TurboTax still doesn't have the forms ready?

[SweetieJean · Accepted solution]

The IRS has to approve TT's versions (programming) of the forms first. And, per the IRS:

By law, the IRS cannot issue refunds claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) before mid-February. While the IRS will process those returns when received, it cannot issue related refunds before mid-February. The IRS expects the earliest EITC/ACTC related refunds to be available in taxpayer bank accounts or on debit cards starting on Feb. 27, 2018, if they chose direct deposit and there are no other issues with the tax return.

So there is no rush
