Question

Form 8822-B

Turbo tax says I cannot file until for 8822-B (change of address of a business is available.)  So I signed up to receive an email when the form is available.  I got and email saying the form is available and I could file  but when I go to Turbo tax it still says that I cannot file.  

What gives!!!  This appears this is some bad software your emails are notifying me that  the form 8822 - B is available and I can file.  However,  Turbo tax software does not let me file! The message is "Cannnot E-File"  

What is going on here?

Although the form is now available in TurboTax, the e-file form is unsupported.  In this case, the form must be printed and you'll need to mail your return.  Refer to the Federal Individual Forms Availability list.

I'm having the same issue.  What are we supposed to do?  Delete the form so you can efile?  And just mail it ?

I would suggest you mail it.  Per our updates, if you e-file, this form is not supported.  You are recommended to print it out and submit along with other tax forms.

This is ridiculous.  I went to irs.gov, printed the form, completed the form, signed and mailed weeks ago when I simply changed the company mailing address.  After making the necessary changes to the information transferred from last years return with TurboTax, I completed the return, however, when ready to file, the program said I could not e-file because the Form 8822 B was still being worked on.  This is not true, as I already completed and filed the form by mail.  It is not an IRS problem, but a TurboTax issue.  I've received two emails telling me the form is ready, to log back in, update and they will walk me through the form.  The program is up to date, yet I am still getting the same message refusing to allow me to e-file.  I have wasted over two weeks trying to file my return.  TurboTax needs to resolve this issue ASAP.  I have used the TurboTax program for years, but am now considering switching to another tax program.

I keep receiving emails that the form is ready.  Turbo Tax does not update, nor will it let me file the taxes without the form.  It is frozen on this page.  How do I get this to function????

The release date for Form 8822-B in TurboTax has changed to 3/20/2020.  Reference:  https://care-cdn.prodsupportsite.a.intuit.com/forms-availability/turbotaxbusiness_fed_windows_corp.html

 

Since it's not necessary to submit the form along with your tax return, you can delete the form and then e-file.  You can then print the form from the IRS website and mail it in separately.  Here is the link:  http://IRS.gov - Form 8822-B, Change of Address or Responsible Party - Business

Read the previous posts.  The solution to the problem is to delete the form8822-B. Everyone who posted about the form was having the same problem, including myself.  I posted earlier how to delete the form.  Deleting the form eliminates the error message and you will be able to e-file.  Remember, if you haven’t already done so, go to irs.gov and print a copy of the form8822-B complete the form, sign and mail it in separately as instructed.  It’s just a form to let the IRS know you have a change of address.
