Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

It says that my return contains Form 7202 and so I can't e-file. However, I am pretty certain that Form 7202 does not apply to me.

Per the IRS instructions for form 7202:    

 

Self-employed individuals should use Form 7202 to figure the amount to claim for qualified sick and family leave equivalent
credits under the FFCRA on their 2020 tax return. These credits are available to eligible self-employed individuals if they were unable to work or telework or had to care for family members for reasons related to the coronavirus and are refundable.

To Delete A Form:

 

1)  Click “Tax Tools” on the left menu

2) Click “tools” then a box should pop up

3) Click Delete a form

4) Scroll down and look for the 7202-T form

5) Click delete

 

Otherwise, the E-filing of Form 7202 is not supported. 

If Form 7202 will be included with your federal tax return, Form 1040, you will have to print, sign, date, and mail the 2020 Federal Tax Return to the IRS.

This is nonsense. Every other tax platform/software can e-file a return with Form 7202 included. Why can't Turbotax?

Form 7202 is not available for e-filing, according to our forms availability sheet.  To print and mail your return, please follow these instructions if you're using TurboTax Online and review this article if you're using TurboTax Desktop

 

If you wish to e-file without the credit you will need to delete the form:

Since you wish to e-file and claim this credit, your best option will be to first e-file without the credit, and then prepare an amended return claiming the credit.

That is nonsense. All other software/filers can efile a 7202. TurboTax has to fix this and now.

We have received numerous reports of this experience that appear to be coming from various areas of the program. Please troubleshoot with the options below. If needed, we will need to investigate your experience.  Thank you for your participation and patience. 

 

a. Check Availability

b. Remove state and try again

If all your forms are ready and available to be e-filed and you receive this message, please follow the steps below

  1. Sign out of TurboTax.

  2. Sign back in.

You may need to remove your state and prepare your state return again to move past the error and successfully e-file. 

 

c. Send us your tax file

I checked the list of available/supported forms, and saw that the New York State IT-2 (W-2 summary) form wasn't supported.  I tried to delete that and try to refile, but I get a message saying I am not entitled to efile due to certain formsets in my return.  It looks like I'm not able to delete those forms because I already paid the fee.  Is there a way to "unregister" the return and remove the IT-2 forms and try to efile again?  Unfortunately, in NY if you use tax software you must efile.  So just printing and mailing is not an option.  Who knows, that might not even be the issue holding up the efiling. Help!

This needs to get resolved.  I have read countless comments all over the web that this is an issue with Intuit not a requirement of the IRS.  Other softwares support e-filing form 7202.  Either fix it or refund us for poorly built software.

The IRS has literally provided instructions for companies to support e-filing form 7202 and to reduce paper waste.   Turbotax needs to fix and update their software!

The Form 7202 is for Credits for Sick Leave and Family Leave for Certain Self-Employed Individuals. If you don't want to claim this credit or don't need to and its not applicable to you, you can remove it.

Yes I want to claim it but I shouldn’t have to mail in a paper return when the IRS does support it, just TurboTax does not

Form 7202 is used by self-employed individuals to figure an amount to claim for qualified sick and family leave equivalent credits on their 2020 tax returns.  See the 2020 Instructions for Form 7202 for eligibility information. 

Form 7202 must be attached to your tax return.  Since the form won't be supported in e-file, you'll need to print both Form 7202 and your entire 1040-series return and mail them to the IRS.

 

If you don't want to claim this credit or don't need to and its not applicable to you, you can remove it.
