Turbotax sent me an e-mail saying the forms 8960 and 8949 were ready. When I updated Turbotax, I still get the dialogue box saying the forms are not ready. What gives?

I cleared my history and cache and when logging into business the message still comes up that 8960 is still not ready.  I also updated business

Why should one have to do that?  Other forms have been updated.

I cleared my cache and cookies, but it didn't help.  Then, a TurboTax Customer Service Rep told me this morning that TurboTax doesn't actually have Forms 8949 and 8960 ready for download/update yet, despite the e-mail message saying they are ready.  She said, "wait a few days."  Hope she is right.  I will give it a couple of days.

You can view the form availability here, to assist you in tracking when the forms will be available for you to file.

No, the link says 8960 but in business it still says ready soon but not now.

[dalech1957]

The availability link indicates that form 8960 is available, just as the e-mail from TruboTax indicated.  But, if you actually use the tax software, it says the form is not yet available, even after it has been updated.

This issue has been escalated to our Research and Development and they are working on a solution.

The updates listed don't include TurboTax Business 2020.  I am not having trouble with my TurboTax Deluxe.

The  8960 problem is in Business.

Please get this problem corrected!!  I, too, have tried all the "solutions" offered above to no positive effect.  This is very disappointing to a user and shareholder.  Your can do better because you are better...
