What does tax season 2023 transmissions not available mean?

Maybe you are waiting for some forms.  Click Review to see if you are missing some forms needed in order to e-file.

Many federal and state forms are not yet available.  Check here for form availability. The dates are subject to change.

Tax form availability tool,

No hurry to e-file since the IRS will not begin to accept/reject 2023 e-files until January 29.   And….a state return cannot be accepted until after the IRS accepts your federal return.

It is likely happening because one or more of your forms are not yet ready to file.  TurboTax will have an update with many 2023 forms released on January 24th.  Here is a link to the form availability. 

Please try to submit your return again after the 24th.

Went to e-file my state tax. And it said we could not efile your return for the following reason. Tax year 2023 transmissions are not available.

The IRS does not officially open to process returns until January 29, 2024. Most state returns are processed through the Federal Return.

It is 2/3/2024 and it is still not available.

Try closing TurboTax, clear your Cache and Cookies, and reopen TurboTax.  Also, make sure you have ran all updates.

Restarting turbotax did not help.  Product is up to date.  This is a desktop product and not sure how clearing cache/cookies would help.

I'm getting the same message -- it's 2/6/2024 -- ????

Same here...   2/6/24 still Transmission not available.....  I paid for this, this should work without an issue!

And to quote another post;
"Restarting turbotax did not help. Product is up to date. This is a desktop product and not sure how clearing cache/cookies would help."

Restarting Turbo Tax did not help.  Updating Turbo Tax did not help.  It says the Residential Energy Credit forms are not available yet but will be available 2/7/2024.  It is 2/7/2024 and still not working.  Frustrating.  I keep putting it on my calendar and it keeps pushing it off.  First it was another form, not this one.

They returned a call yesterday.  Have been told here it's because of Ga tax  dept.  Said  it would be ready 9 Feb but to wait until 10 Feb...   SMH 

A user for almost 20 years and never this much trouble....

This has been resolved. Make sure your software has the latest update. You might also try closing TurboTax, clear your Cache and Cookies, and reopen TurboTax.

Ok ... just updated TT and will wait until tomorrow to submit per a previous post ..... so far, it's been a bad year for TT - rethinking how I want to do taxes next year - I've been ready to file and get it off of my plate since 2/1 --

I agree.  So many crazy stuff.  Wonder if the was a change because Betterment investments says they will not have their stuff until the 12th.  The original post said the energy credit would be ready by the 7th and it wasn't.  Maybe it is not Turbo Tax.  I would like to know.  In all my years of doing taxes, they had until 1/31.  What has changed???
