Error code on Form 4684

In the forms view there is a red ! error code in the left margin. But there is no explanation of what the error is and no cells in the form are highlighted, so I can't tell what is wrong or missing. In past years the errors would be shown at the bottom of the page and you could click on them to see what is wrong. I don't find any such option for this.

The review has the solution. The form 4684 shows during review that it is not ready yet. The anticipated IRS release date is  Feb 10. The state and federal governments approve the most common forms first and work their way down the list. Please see the links for form availability. Once a date shows up, the reality should be close. Once released, Turbo Tax will work quickly to get it working in the program.

Form 4684 is used to report casualties and thefts. If you didn't report either, you can delete the form. If you did report something on the form, you can try deleting it and going back through the entry to report your casualty or theft again.

Thank you for the quick response. I do have a theft to report. If I delete the form in the Forms view, will that delete all of my data input in the step-by-step view so that I have to re-input everything

a business theft loss or a personal one.    personal theft losses are not deductible in 2021 (maybe for state)

Thank you for the info. I will await the update and hopefully then the form will work.

Sure enough , the situation resolved itself yesterday. Apparently the IRS released the correct form.
