How do I tell turbotax to file my return even though the MA state form M-2210 is not available?

[newusernameagain]

I get an error when reviewing my MA return: 

Form M-2210: No Form M-2210 . You must check this box or wait until the program is updated. The update will be available in early February. Please return to TurboTax at this time. When the product has been updated, you will no longer get this error message.

[ ] No Form M-2210

But there is another box in an image of the M-2210 that says:

[  ] Check here if you want the Massachusetts Department of Revenue to figure the underpayment penalty

Form M-2210 (see Tax Help for more information)

1. Should I select both boxes and will this allow me to file my return? OR is it better to wait for the form to be available?  I don't expect a penalty  since I owe less that $400.

2. Why is M-2210 not available for Tubotax yet it is available for other Tax programs? I would think it would be available once it's ready from the state.

The Massachusetts Form M-2210 is scheduled for 02/24/2022.  Click this link for a listing of Massachusetts Form Availability.

If you want to file prior to then, check the box for  'Massachusetts Dept. of Revenue to figure your penalty'.

Is checking the box for 'Massachusetts Dept. of Revenue to figure your penalty'  

the same  as checking the box where it says  "you must check this box or wait until the program is updated" ?

It does not make sense that I would check a box on the 2021 M-2210 which Turbotax says is not available yet Turbotax gives me the option to check a box on that  "unavailable" form.

I am concerned if I check a box that is not part of the normal turbotax program (this is an image of an acutal form) Turbotax will not give me an option to "undo" this selection. The prompt for this box was triggered during the Review of State return and there does not seem to be any way to re-enter the underpayment screen. Chosing "Your Bottom Line" gives no prompts for underpayment penalty as it says it should.

Yes. Checking the box for "Massachusetts Dept. of Revenue to figure your penalty" is the same as checking the box where it says "You must check this box or wait until the program is updated."

This checks the box on Form M-2210 that says you want MA to figure the underpayment penalty.

If you are unable to access that section again in TurboTax Online, delete the form and go through MA again.

1. Click Tax Tools in the left column
2. Click Tools
3. Select Delete a Form in Tools Center
4. Scroll down to Form M-2210
5. Click Continue With My Return in the lower right when you are finished
6. Go back to MA. Keep going until you reach Underpayment Penalty.
