did a search and found that the MT 2024 State income tax forms were released on 12/08/24 but I am receiving a message from Turbo Tax saying that they aren't available.

While the forms may be ready on Montana's end, TurboTax then has to integrate that with its program.    The info at the link below shows the Montana forms should be finished with programming/testing at TurboTax and ready for printing/efiling on January 30.

@Kriskovichlacey1   The link I provided above originally had an error in it, and it didn't work correctly.   I've since corrected it.   Sorry for any confusion.

Thank you! I decided to see if FreeTaxUSA had the forms on board yet so I can be done with filing and get my return ASAP. The forms were there and I am done! I've pretty much had it with Turbo Tax anyway. The scammy ways they try to trick you into upgrading and cumbersome system. I was done with everything on FreeTaxUSA in half the time it took me to file the same return. Thank you for responding, hopefully your experience was better than mine.

You're welcome.    If you efiled, the IRS will open up to start processing Federal returns on 1/27/2025.   A few Federal returns are pulled early by the IRS each year for testing purposes, so a few people will hear something before then in regard to whether their efiled return was accepted/rejected.  Good luck.
