Hello

when I file there some form that say there not ready 

Form 8582 p1 and IT-213

What does this mean ?

[RobertB4444]

It means that TurboTax is still working on programming those tax forms into the system.  There is a schedule of when tax forms will be ready when here.

What are these forms?  I don't understand what they are for.

@ jeo99999

IRS Form 8582, Passive Activity Loss Limitations, is used by noncorporate taxpayers to figure the amount of any passive activity loss for the tax year, and to report the application of prior year unallowed PALs.

Form IT-213 is New York’s Claim for Empire State Child Credit.

Someone asked a question about them in your thread, but these have nothing to do with your original question.

[jeo99999]

I don't understand why I am getting this information as I did not ask for it.

Another customer posted on your thread. The answers about forms should have been tagged to that person and not you. Sorry for the confusion.
