I cannot file because I keep getting this error:

Activity Worksheet (Cosmetologist): Activity Description - This form is not ready to be filed due a change in the federal form. It should be available soon.

When will it be available??

That list of availability dates does not help! It says schedule C is available but TurboTax won’t let me file the State tax because the activity sheet for schedule C is not available!

It is ridiculous TurboTax to have to wait all the way until the middle of march for a form. All forms should have been available no later that February 1, people need their refunds asap!

Understood, but it is not always the fault of Intuit.

Same thing happening to me, I'm in MD, anyone else in MD having this issue? I'm not sure when the form will be ready and turbotax was not very helpful. Does anyone know the date it will be ready?

I'm getting this same message. I live in IA as well. So who can we complain to at the IRS? And how do we do that?

I'm in Iowa and have had my return ready to go since February 4th, but am having the same message about the activity worksheet not being ready. Today is the 17th, do we have anymore info as to when this will be ready. Much longer and I may be choosing to file with a different service. I'm needing my refund!

I went ahead and just filed the federal for now. I used the online version and on the left where it says file, click it, it'll give you the option to file by mail or e-file, select by mail, then it'll give you an option to change your filing status again, so change the Maryland to file later and keep Federal as e-file, then proceed to file your federal. My federal was accepted in less than 2 minutes. You just have to keep checking back to file MD whenever the updated form will be ready which it should be already updated.

I still can't file. Turbo tax advised fix would be 2/17 and try again. 2/18: still same issue "This form is not ready to be filed due a change in the federal form. It should be available soon". This is holding up our filing.

I am in Iowa and having the same issue on the State tax with the message - Activity Worksheet: Activity Description. Form not ready.....available soon.

Been checking daily and I guess we are not at "soon" quite yet.

I've sent a request to Senator Joni Ernst and Rep. Cindy Axne and asked them to look into the issue with these delinquent forms. Both have responded to let me know their staff are investigating the issue.
