How long does it take for the IRS to finalize my forms so I can finish filing?

[TeresaM]

Some federal forms do not yet have the IRS final draft available and then states do not finalize some of their forms until the federal ones are ready.  Also, the federal form will need to be complete before the state return can be finalized. 

Please click on Review, on the left menu.  You may see a message "Some of your tax forms are not ready".  Below the message, you can select the link that says "I want to sign up for email notifications. " Below are the expected release dates for the federal forms. When your federal forms are finalized, open Turbo Tax and Click on the Federal, on the left menu, to open and finish your return.
