When will the software be updated?

I think 1/15 is more than sufficient to get the updates from the IRS.

The IRS has not finalized all forms and instructions yet to reflect the new tax laws. TurboTax cannot finalize the software until after the IRS publishes all the necessary guidance.  TurboTax will then need time to make the updates to the software. 

While you can start preparing return in TurboTax, the return cannot be officially e-filed until the IRS systems are open for the season. The IRS will begin accepting and processing 2025 tax returns on Monday, January 26, 2026. 

Please note: If you start preparing your return now, be aware that the calculations made by the software may not be accurate and might change.
