New Forms

Hiya, I just got the 2025 deluxe version that seems to be not updating. There some forms that need to be downloaded for the federal side to continue on the tax process but the program wont update. When I try to do it on the website there are no issues? One would think if the online verision works the desktop would as well..

What form do you need?    If you're on a PC, open TurboTax and select Check for Updates from the Online menu near the top. On a Mac, simply quit and reopen TurboTax. If there are any updates, you'll be prompted to download them.


If you can’t update your Windows program try doing a Manually update

Thanks, for the advice. It just seems interesting that the website version is updated with the forms needed but the desktop version is delayed for the same forms. I am waiting on the desktop version to receive the 5329-T and 8606-T forms 

 

When Ive gone to the site for the manual there are no updates for federal or anything referencing 2025

TheOnline browser version is always updated first, as soon as they have one. The Desktop program will update later when they put out the next update patch, usually on Thursdays.
