When will the 2018 Illinois State forms be ready for printing?

[larrymitch]

The answer of 2/9/18 is a week ago, and my tax program still says the forms are not ready and it's 2/16/19.

IF you are using the Desktop software:

If you are comfortable with deleting files, you can try this:

____________________________

Delete the three files   ilif01.1pe, ilif02.1pe and il_ind_schsa.pdf  all dated 12/10/18.

  location was C:\Program Files (x86)\TurboTax\Premier 2018\Forms\ili_18 for the first two files, 

….and C:\Program Files (x86)\TurboTax\Premier 2018\Forms\ili_18\fpspdfs for the pdf. 

(the "Premier 2018" subdirectory will be Deluxe or Home & Business if your version is one of the other ones)

This worked for a number of other users. 

But a few say it didn't. They had to Uninstall TTX before removing the files...with updated directions below.

BUT...at #9  DO NOT open your prior 2018 tax return yet.

9) start a NEW tax file.

10) enter enough information to get it started, then go to the State taxes section and re-download & Install your Free Illinois tax software.

11) Then exit it (IF you save it make sure you give it a "Temp" filename) and then re-open your prior tax file that has Illinois in it.

Did all that, and when I want to upload IL forms, it wants me to purchase the forms for $44.99  is supposed to be included with my purchase.

Back up your actual tax file in another directory for safekeeping

GetTTX support to get you a FULL new download installation file.

Unistall TTX and re-install TTx...start a dummyfile to put in enough info go to the state part to install ILL .

then open you older file.
