Can't e-file as above form NOT updated yet? I signed up for email alert when available and was notified but update is not ... well ... updating. Did this several times over past week. I want to e file as my 2020 AGI is WAY down from 2019 (disqualifying me from any further stimulus check).

1. can I file form 14039 by mail and e-file my returns?

2. What is ramification of deleting form 14039 on IRS if I have already filed report with FCC and frozen all my credit files?

You have to print and mail your 14039 since TurboTax does not support e-filing the form.

According to the instructions for Form 14039, Identity Theft Affidavit, you can submit by either mail or FAX. You'll need to print and mail or FAX Form 14039, since there is not e-file support for the form. See the link above for the address and FAX number.

If you don't file Form 14039, you won't put the IRS on notice that your Social Security number has been compromised. See the IRS's Identity Theft Information for Taxpayers for more information.

I have this same issue where I received email from TurboTax that form 14039 was ready but after updating software and updating forms final check still states that form is not available. So I understand that I need to print out paper form and submit form 14039 by mail or fax since TurboTax isn't setup to do this. (so glad I paid for TT) But the question still unanswered is can I e-file the remainder of my tax forms and tax return through TurboTax or do I need to mail those forms as well, and if I can e-file how do I get around this Smart Check or can I ignore and go directly to File tab to file other forms?

Can't even file by MAIL. The printout is stamped "DO NOT FILE', "FORM NOT FINAL" !! If no other alternative, this needs to be fixed !

Go to the IRS website to complete, print and file the Form 14039 - https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f14039.pdf
