Projected availability of Forms 8911 and 6251 for 2021 Turbotax?

[sdada]

I am so annoyed at the inability to file my taxes because my Costco purchased TT deluxe won't let me file  as Forms 6251 and 8911 are missing. I called TT customer service last week and I was told that both would be available by the 23rd of Feb (today). Clearly that was a lie, I have been using TT for many years. No more, Moving to another tax company. Going to Costco tomorrow to get my money back if they will provide me a refund. So much for filing my tax early!!

I join those complaining about delays in form 8911. IRS finalized, what gives Intuit? I see your message, but find that hard to swallow. Last year I'll use Turbo Tax

I'll add ++1 to this thread.

Why the heck cannot Intuit finalize this form?

The statement "Waiting for IRS to finalize" ==> Don't say that if you've got an "expert" or a "champ" badge.

Act like a responsible expert or champ. IRS has already finalized these forms. Your parent company INTUIT is offering them in their PRO version of TurboTax which is for professionals and people using those professionals like "CPA or EA" are able to file their returns using that form 8911.

How about this: Intuit hasn't finalized the form for the consumer version. Nothing to do with IRS finalization. This seems to be Intuit's corporate strategy. Your consumer version, which make up the biggest population of your revenue (Intuit made $2B in revenue last year) is your least priority. First you help fix all software QA and testing for your Pro versions for the Tax Professionals, and then after a lot of noise and pleading from poor consumers who had the misfortune of buying your software, you start throwing these breadcrumbs that we are working on it.

No all of us consumers here are not OK with your strategy. YOU CHARGED us, please don't mislead us.

FIX this ASAP. Don't tell us that we have to wait until March 17th.

This is not fair and this seems like bait and switch mechanism, for which INTUIT is already in trouble with the FTC.

For all subscribers to this thread, just like the other thread. Please link and share this also on Twitter and LinkedIn.

Shoutout to Intuit and Turbotax ==> Stop making us wait until March 17th. Fix your logic and update this form now.

I agree with the frustration on the wait for Form 8911.  I've used TT since 2003, so a TRUE long time customer.  The fact a small EVSE credit I'm due on 8911 is holding up a big Fed return (unless I grab the 8911 from the IRS site and mail it in) is ridiculous.

The whole reason I buy TT is to avoid manual, complex calculations and the USPS.  I feel many of us are due at least a credit towards 2022 TT for the earnings we will miss on our later than expected return.   Intuit should certainly have the stafff to fast track this form approval.

I am also very frustrated to wait this long to file because of a single form delay. This is ridiculous. 

3-17-2022!  Seriously? 

[jeffk]

This is not acceptable.  Get the form out. 

[KeithCavill82]

@jeffk,

I have now shared this thread on Twitter and tagged INTUIT and also on LinkedIn and tagged INTUIT there too. Please if you and everyone else can start doing it.

Waiting until 03/17/2022 is unacceptable

[klossfam]

I also tweeted out the issue with a tag @turbotax (Shows to use vs @intuit)...Not expecting much response from a company like Intuit but our request is very reasonable when you are talking 3-4 additional weeks of unnecessary time waiting to file electronically.

It may take longer for one form or another to show up in TurboTax for multiple reasons. Our goal is to provide you with the most accurate information possible. As part of this process, we communicate often with the taxing agencies. I have provided the Forms availability link below so you are able to check the dates for the different forms:

While I appreciate the info, that is not the issue. The 2021 form is available from the IRS and it should not be a 3 week+ integration into TT. 

That wait time is not why I've spent nearly $1k over the years on your product. Next year I'll need to look at other platforms that keep up with the IRS better. 

[jeffk]

Agree 100%. This is a single page form!!!

[ProgPic43]

Add me to the list of people knocking on the door for this to get done.  Please....

[sdada]

This does not resolve the issue at hand. How can I get the TT software money back?

I agree, completely unacceptable answer.  Form is available, no reason it shouldn’t be available in TT for filing.  Delaying until mid March is not acceptable for a service I am paying for.  Hopefully TT extends the “early filing discount” until all forms are in place.  Only reason I can’t file today is TT program issue.
