Question

Form 7202 - "Cannot e-file"?

Forum|Forum|5 years ago

I'm not filing yet - just going through early to see what kind of refund I could be looking at. I want to claim the family and sick leave credits for self-employed individuals (Form 7202). When I go to 'review' at the end, it says that form cannot be e-filed. I understand it's still in draft form and should be ready by 1/28 according to the Forms Availability list, but that says it's for "print". What if you want to e-file? Will it also be ready by 1/28, or do I HAVE to do a paper return in order to claim those credits?

Thanks!

E-filing of the Form 7202 is not supported.

If the 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.

The answer you’ve all been looking for 🙂

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

6) go back to review and WALA, good to go 😉

Yes, definitely. You can e file without this form and amend later when the form is available. Please note that IRS will not process and accept any returns until February 12, 2021.

Beginning with the 2019 tax year, you can e-file amended tax returns. If you used TurboTax to prepare Form 1040-X, follow the software's instructions to e-file the amendment.

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

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.

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.

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.
