Form 7202 - "Cannot e-file"?

[al88]

I'm not filing yet - just going through early to see what kind of refund I could be looking at. I want to claim the family and sick leave credits for self-employed individuals (Form 7202). When I go to 'review' at the end, it says that form cannot be e-filed. I understand it's still in draft form and should be ready by 1/28 according to the Forms Availability list, but that says it's for "print". What if you want to e-file? Will it also be ready by 1/28, or do I HAVE to do a paper return in order to claim those credits?

Thanks!

E-filing of the Form 7202 is not supported. 

If the Form 7202 will be included with your federal tax return, Form 1040, you will have to print, sign, date and mail the 2020 Federal Tax Return to the IRS.

Not the answer I was hoping for, but will do what I need to in order to claim it. Thank you DoninGA!

The answer you’ve all been looking for 🙂

1)  Click “Tax Tools” on the left menu

2) click “tools” then

a box should pop up

3) Click Delete a form

4) scroll down and look for the 7202-T form

5) click delete

6) go back to review and WALA, good to go 😉

Thank you for this ****accurate answer.  That form is standing between my e-file status. I will try your way now.

Will the form become available at a later date for efile? I want to efile when it comes time but I need this form to remain on my tax return.

It will not be.  Form 7202 is not e-fileable.

Can I efile and the submit an amendment by mail to claim 7202?

[LinaJ2020]

Yes, definitely.  You can e file without this form and amend later when the form is available.  Please note that IRS will not process and accept any returns until February 12, 2021.  

Beginning with the 2019 tax year, you can e-file amended tax returns. If you used TurboTax to prepare Form 1040-X, follow the software's instructions to e-file the amendment.

When electronically signing your tax return to be e-filed, you are making this declaration (or one very similar to it):

Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined a copy of the income tax return (original or amended) I am now authorizing, and to the best of my knowledge and belief, it is true, correct, and complete.

Use the delete  form button in the forms mode on a Windows or the top menu bar Forms -> delete in a Mac.
