I am ready to file, received and email stating the form 8863 was ready today. I went to finish filing and it will not allow me to. Says Form 8863 will be ready soon.

I am not a TT employee and am very sorry you and many others are experiencing this issue.  We have brought it up to TT personnel and they are actively working on it.  

A user is reporting that after the 1/18/18 update that took place last night, now using the "Tools" menu to Delete A Form and deleting  the 8863 form will fix the issue - Can you please try that?

The IRS is not accepting returns till 1/29 https://ttlc.intuit.com/announcements/4154870

Here is the latest status of forms availability https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1908854-irs-forms-availability-table-for-turbotax-individual-perso...

I am not a TT employee.  I am sorry you are having delays.  It is taking time for the IRS to approve forms and then TT must test them, it is very complex process as all forms have various links to be tested.

9. Review all forms and delete ALL EDUCATIONAL FORMS REMAINING
Once this is done scroll down and click to Continue Working on my Return.

Return to the Deductions and Credits tab and click Start next to the educational credit.

as stated above  simpler "A user is reporting that after the 1/18/18 update that took place last night, now using the "Tools" menu to Delete A Form and deleting  the 8863 form will fix the issue - Can you please try that?"  It works.

This did not work for me.

@katfey  are you using  mac by any chance?

[katfey]

yes!

[maglib]

Please verify your Mac is connected to the internet and use the "Update" functionality found under the TurboTax application menu on your Mac (top left, by the Apple symbol).

Update:  I got this workaround to work but there is an IMPORTANT step I had to take.  After deleting all the education forms I needed to log out of my account and log bag in and then redo all the education information.  I am using the online version of TurboTax by the way.
