The Form 3800 is included in the personal editions of TurboTax and can be either e-filed or printed with the 2017 tax return. See this TurboTax support FAQ for IRS forms availability - https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1908854-irs-forms-availability-table-for-turbotax-individual-perso...
Enter 3800, general business credit In the Search/Find box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to 3800, general business credit
I understand Turbotax did not support E-filing form 1040 if there is an entry on Form 3800 Part III, Line 1aa in June 2019. So here we are in April, 2021, TWO YEARS LATER, and the IRS does have a form 5884-A.
Is there a way we can E-File the 1040 form rather than print it out?
Would appreciate the most current thinking on how to E-File this with TurboTax.
Businesses reported on Form 1040 can be entered in a number of different ways depending on what type of entity is being used.
For a Schedule C business, these details could be captured as a Business Expense.
To do this in TurboTax CD/Download Home & Business, assuming the Forms W-2 have been issued, from the BUSINESS tab, at Your Business, scroll down to Business Expenses and click Start at:
When entering the expenses for a pass-through entity, Form 5884 details should have already been captured in TurboTax Business before reporting Schedule K-1 details on Form 1040.

I get a message, We won't be able to E-file your return. It looks like you have a form or tax situation in your federal return that TurboTax doesn't support for e-filing. We do support it for filing by mail. Here are the details: you have an amount on Form 3800, Part III, Line 1aa Credit for Affected Disaster Area Employees.
It looks like this issue has not been around since 2019. Has TT not been able to resolve this issue?
