It says online that forms 8949 and 8960 for form 1041 are available for both paper filing and efile.  I have turbotax business and it will not update for those forms.  Is it indeed possible that the efile versions are not available yet? I spoke with turbotax and they were at a loss.  Help!

According to the IRS forms availability table for TurboTax Business FAQ, those forms are estimated to be available sometime 2/11/2021. 

 

The purpose of Form 1041 is for the fiduciary of a domestic decedent's estate, trust, or bankruptcy estate to report:

• The income, deductions, gains, losses, etc. of the estate or trust;

• The income that is either accumulated or held for future distribution or distributed currently to the beneficiaries;

• Any income tax liability of the estate or trust;

• Employment taxes on wages paid to household employees; and

• Net Investment Income Tax.
