Turbotax says CT forms will be available 1/23/25 so I'm wondering why I can't file my CT return yet?

Yes.  I did the state through  TT as well as federal. 

my sons taxes federal in TT.  State through DRS site.  I am running windows 11

For the record.  I  am using Windows 11 professional

The Instructions for that zip file state to drop it in the desktop.  Should that be in the folder where the tax file is located?

I was able to resolve the issue on my computer that was not downloading the CT form.

I just copied the whole CT folder from my other computer that did download it. I could see the dates on the files. One set was 12/10//2024 and the other was 1/28/2025.

The folder is Turbotax/Individual2024/Forms/cti_24

That resolved my download issue.

The freezing issue I was having when I try to eFile still happens but if I just let it sit there it finally advances to the next screen after about a minute.

Good luck all

I am using Deluxe version also.  I am on Windows 11 and also tried uninstalling / reinstalling it on my Windows 10 pc and getting latest version available - and using the data file from my Windows 11 computer and I still get the same issue. Very frustrating.  Here is the message I get from Turbo Tax

I am not sure that patch does anything to address the issue we are experiencing.

I downloaded the exe and ran it in my computer.  I also cloned my sons tax return thinking it would remove the state download.  It did not do anything.

We are back to square one.  The tech folks need to test this issue in multiple computers running different versions of windows.

This is detective work that needs to be done to find the root cause.

I called on Monday and spent the entire day with agent trying everything to fix this. This issue was sent for investigation. Still have not heard anything.  I did however split screen with TT and CT DRS and used the numbers showing on CT form if you take it one step further in the TT walk thru and do not run error scan again.  The only difference I noticed was the tax amount on the CT DRS forms. (CT tax was less than TT) 

I filed CT forms thru Ct DRS website. In research found that CT changed the tax percentages for individuals effective 1/1/24.  Hopefully TT will resolve this issue SOON

I have used Turbo Tax for years and this is the first year that I am unable to complete my tax returns because Turbo Tax says Connecticut State Tax forms need to be updated. I requested to be notified when CT 1040 forms are available. I received such a email and downloaded an update but CT Return still did not process. I am disappointed it Turbo Tax this year and may consider switching next year to another tax program.

I too have been using TT for over 20 years and Never had a problem with forms or filing.   There were times I had to wait for forms to be ready but always downloaded them when I got the email.  Can't believe this is a ongoing issue now and TT doesn't have an answer.   

This is also the first time I never had an actual disk  ( I'm old school),  and had to install the program from a website....      - I'm not liking this new way of doing it!!!

Thanks - I did the same thing and also noticed the ct taxes for agi are lower in CT’s website. I usually get Deluxe version of turbo tax and fill out bot fed and ct data to get idea of what I owe/get back. Then I submit only fed thru turbo tax as they charge for submitting state 1040 form. I print both and then got to CT’s site and using turbo tax to verify the 2 are in sync

I just opened turbo tax deluxe and it downloaded some patches.  It seems like my issue and hopefully your issue(s) are now resolved. I no longer get the message indicating that I need to get updated CT-1040 forms.

[steverp]

I forgot to mention, that the tax tables for CT in Turbo Tax now matches that from the CT website.

It is now 2/6/2025, and TurboTax still says CT is not ready, although I received an email from TT a week ago stating it IS ready.  Many others in this community chat are saying they are having the same experience. What is the real answer?

[maDad1]

Just did the update,  Still not working!!!!!    😡

Turbotax finally updated the CT portion when I opened it today. 

The TT taxable amount also finally matched the CT DRS website.

I still can’t get the sheets ….
