Form 7206 "Not Ready"

I completely filled in Form 7206 for my Schedule C, and there are no fields with the red/pink highlighting to indicate any problem.  Yet in the Forms list on the lefthand side, there is an ! and it says the Form is "not ready".  What does this mean?  I don't want to repeat the fiasco of prior years where it was impossible to efile because Turbotax couldn't properly handle Form 7206.

It means the form is not ready for filing, but the site below indicates that it is ready,

Thanks -- so then I guess the question is: which information is wrong, the message generated by the desktop program saying it's not ready or the web site listing claiming that it is?

Does it make any difference? You can't file until that form is finalized in your TurboTax program (via an update).
