Form 8959 error

I am using 2025 TurboTax Premiere Desktop for Windows version which is fully up to date (no new updates available when I check).

 

When I get to the point in the step-by-step where I am ready to file, it does the error check and I get the following error for Form 8959:

 

"Form 8959: _ This form has not been approved for release at this time.  You must obtain an update before you file your return in order to ensure that all the calculations are correct.  To receive an update, select Check for Updates from the Online menu to connect to our web site."

 

If I go into the Forms view, Form 8959 is showing as "NOT DONE" with a red exclamation point (!) for Windows.  The form is filled out and there is nothing flagging as incomplete or required on the form (no boxes or lines highlighted in light red).  There is also no error message showing. 

 

And, the Intuit forms availability web page indicates the form is ready, but there is obviously something wrong with Form 8959.

 

Please, I need help with resolving this!
