I keep getting a notification that the QBI form has not been approved for release...Program will not let me file

That is correct. The form is not ready.  Click Review to see which forms you are waiting for.

 There are  a number of federal forms that are not yet finalized so you have to wait for them.  Click on Review to see what forms you still need in order to e-file. 

 There really should be no rush to file--the IRS will not be accepting/rejecting returns until January 28.  Many tax documents such as W-2's, 1099's, 1098's, etc. have not been mailed out yet. You may not have everything you need until mid-February.  If you file too early and then find out another important document just arrived in your mailbox, you have to go through the agony of amending your return--which takes about 4 months.
