are we going to be able to efile this by turbo tax? or are we going to be forced to send it by mail?

other software are efiling this form, what can we do, it is 2/21/2021 already.

Form 7202 is not supported 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.

If 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.

practically you're telling me that the other software are better than turbo. it sucks because I have been a customer for 15 years and the reason to keep on coming back it is because I have never had any problems with turbo. it's easy just to say to erase the form to efile but I lose over 750 dollars and if I decide to send it by mail it takes forever to get my return back. thanks for nothing turbo tax.

No software, including professional, can e-file the 7202 because the IRS has not made it e-fileable.

Some software will attach it as a separate PDF attachment, but TurboTax has never supported attachments.  They might be doing that shortly.

1. You have regularly carried on a trade or business.
2. Eligible to receive qualified sick leave wages under the Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act . 
3.  Eligible to receive qualified family leave wages under the Emergency Family and Medical Leave Expansion Act.

 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. 

You may file your 2020 income tax return later and efile, or you can print and paper file it and mail it to the IRS.

Hi

Actually the IRS suggests attaching the form to the e-file via Pdf. It seems that if I am going to pay $120+ for tax service, this option should be made available by turbotax.

TurboTax has worked hard with the IRS to be able to e-file this form.  Since this will require programming adjustments for both the IRS and TurboTax, it will be a few weeks before these changes are made.

 If you wish to file this form, you have the following options:

1. Mail in your return now and not wait until the form is available to e-file.
2. E-file your return without the form, and then file an amended return with the form attached to it (amended returns now also can be e-filed for greater convenience).
3. Wait until the form is available in TurboTax and e-file your entire return at once.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions on how to do this.
