When filing my CA state taxes it's stating my tax forms aren't ready (Form 3801). Where do I find this form?

That's a bug in the program, as this form is not required if you don't have passive activity losses.  It is generated by the software but it should not be needed.  Deleting the form doesn't help, it comes back immediately.

 

From CA FTB 2021 Form 3801 Instructions: 

"Who Must File: Form FTB 3801 is filed by individuals, estates, trusts, and S corporations that have losses (including prior year unallowed losses) from passive activities."

Yes, please make Form 3801 availability a priority for your product development team.... it was originally showing a 2/10 availability then it slipped to 3/3.  It's bad enough the IRS is taking their sweet time in issuing refunds, and this adds more delay to getting a CA state refund as well.

There are different reasons why the forms take longer to show up within TurboTax. The forms availability table is where we update the information as we receive it from taxing agencies. We make it our goal to keep updated on the most recent data.  

 

For additional information, it would be necessary to contact customer support.

CA form 3801 is not a new form. Are you suggesting it is CA that is delaying TurbTax's ability to load a recurring state form? Also I do not have any passive income or loss. So how can I communicate to TurboTax DIRECTLY to see that there is not a software glitch!! I don't want to hear from experts. I WANT TO HEAR FROM TURBOTAX!!

@rpswim No, we are not suggesting that CA is delaying the form. 

 

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. At this time form 3801 is not ready until 3/3/2022. Please keep an eye on this article to check back for updates, State forms availability table for TurboTax individual (personal) tax products

 

You mentioned that you do not have passive income activity. Please try to remove that specific form and see if that fixes the issue. If not, also try removing your state return and re-entering it. You also contact TurboTax by phone for further assistance.

The point that Intuit needs to take away from this topic is that its customers expect them to quick in updating forms in Turbo Tax once they are released to the public by the state agencies (such is the case for form 3801).  We purchase your products because we expect a certain level of service.  Our tax returns are done and we are getting frustrated because of the lack a sense of urgency by the programming team at Intuit.

Electronic filing is no longer an option for me on TT, not just due to TTs delay integrating the updated FTB form 3301 but the also the total lack of support for Federal forms 8996 and 8997.
